Lecture:

"The EU's Eastern Enlargement: Success and Challenges from a
Political Science Perspective"
Ulrich Sedelmeier, London School of Economics and Political Science

The EU's eastern enlargement has been hailed as a major success
for the EU's ability to promote democracy, the rule of law, and
regulatory alignment in post-communist Europe. However, there has
been skepticism about whether this success is sustainable after
accession, and whether it can be replicated in remaining accession
candidates in the Western Balkans and Turkey, and in the EU's eastern
neighbourhood. The lecture assesses the EUs continued ability to
influence domestic change in new member, candidate, and neighbouring
states. Why has the power of conditionality - albeit more limited
than before - remained surprisingly strong? Additionally, which
meaning does the EU's enlargement have for the so-called old member
states and for the EU as a whole?
