Abstract: 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 EU’s 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?
