Europeanisation in Bilateral Relations: The Cases of Minority Rights Policies in Eastern Europe in the Context of Enlargement Policy
Journal Title: EUROLIMES - Year 2016, Vol 22, Issue 22
Abstract
The European Union faces multiple crises both internally and externally. The instruments through which it chooses to respond to these challenges shape the view that the partner countries have about its normative power. Even if the enlargement policy is currently a secondary priority, the interest for maintaining a stable and secure neighbourhood emphasizes the need for a coherent policy in this field and subsequently the need for a common approach of the national foreign policies and the European perspective. In this context, the Europeanisation represents a significant opportunity for development and rapprochement for the partner countries, both through EU’s instruments and national ones, but one inquire which the means of influence are. In order to assess this, the paper explores the concept of Europeanisation and its impact on the minority rights policies in Eastern Europe, in particular in Romania. The interconnectedness between the bilateral dialogue and the European Union influence in Western Balkans is evaluated by discussing the impact of bilateral lobbying in the relation between Romania and Serbia regarding the field of the Europeanisation of minority rights.
