Policy experiments, failures and innovations: Beyond accession in Central and Eastern Europe

Abstract

Policy Experiments, Failures and Innovations takes a policy studies perspective in considering post-communist EU member states' experiences since accession. The book analyses policy transfer processes and expands the new and growing sub-field of policy failure by interrogating the binary ideas of 'failure' and 'success' in the context of the Central Eastern European (CEE) transition, democratic consolidation and European Union membership.
