Conditioning Democratization cover

Focusing on Albania and Macedonia, this book analyzes the effects of European Union membership conditionality on institutional reforms in Eastern European countries hoping to join the EU.

This book analyzes the effects of European Union membership conditionality on institutional reforms in Eastern European countries hoping to join the EU, specifically Albania and Macedonia.

This book analyzes the effects of European Union membership conditionality on institutional reforms in Eastern Europe, building on concrete examples from four sectors in Albania and Macedonia, two postcommunist countries that have yet to join the EU. The author discusses the theory of “consociational democracy,” often considered the key to stabilizing deeply divided countries, and reapplies it on the international stage to argue for how the EU can better direct democratization.

“This is an engaging, informative and well-structured account which explores some very pertinent and perennial questions. Peshkopia is an EU expert and a Balkans insider.” —Dr Othon Anastasakis, director of South East European Studies at Oxford
