Patterns of europeanisation in Central and Eastern Europe

The volume presents a collection of articles and analyses exploring various paths of Europeanisation process in Eastern Europe. The articles provide an interdisciplinary reflection on the Eastern enlargement as well as on recent situation in new member states. The contributions of recognised social scientists from both Eastern and Western Europe cover a broad range of aspects of the Europeanisation process ranging from the relationship between societal integration and European polity building to the questions of property rights or knowledge capacity in new member states. The volume is divided into three sections, dealing with general social science perspective on the EU enlargement, with challenges of Europeanisation and finally focusing on detailed aspects of the integration pro- cesses in country studies (covering Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania). This book is intended for scholars, students, policy makers and general readers interested in the new developments in the Eastern part of integrating Europe.
