Europeanisation of CEE Executives: EU Membership Negotiations as a Shaping Power
in: Journal of European Public Policy (Dec. 2001), Special Issue on executives in Central and Eastern Europe, pp. 980-1012.
Abstract: The article sketches out the impact of European integration on the executive development in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia (CEEC-5). We portray and discuss four stages of 'Europeanisation' with a view to their impact on the development of the central executives within the five countries towards efficient multi-level players. From these observations and based on an neo-institutionalist approach we come to the following preliminary conclusions: The EU pressures candidates to design and reform their national administration in anticipation of EU-membership. Pressures are not uniform but depend on different "mechanisms of Europeanisation" and modes of governance. National reactions and solutions do not converge also because there does not exist a model-type of national administration in the EU. Moreover, the EU does not offer a precise administrative target zone for the adaptation processes. In the current stage of membership negotiations the central executives of the CEEC-5 play a dominant role. This could reinforce a general trend towards bureaucratisation of the political process at the cost of marginalising other political actors in the EU-policy-making process. Apparently, the anticipated EU-membership works as a driving force for giving momentum and direction to administrative reform. The actors in the candidate countries still need medium-term strategies for developing into "multilevel players" and integrate fully into the European administrative space.
