Regional integration choices and prospect theory
Why do states select different regional integration projects? Previous literature explains regional integration choices with reference to strategic and economic interests, as well as through the repertoire of abstract ideas and 'the logic of appropriateness'. The present study employs a prospect-theoretic approach and the concepts of risk, the reference point and loss aversion to account for distinct regional integration choices. It combines semi…
The External Incentives Model Embedded
The external incentives model (EIM) proved highly compelling in explaining Europeanization and rule adoption in countries from Central, Eastern and Southeast Europe. Building on the EIM, the present article seeks to contribute along three key objectives. First, it proposes to re‐evaluate the EIM for the Eastern European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) region: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. Second, the paper introduces a conceptual …
‘One Hand Washes the Other’ in EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood
The institutions of patronage, clientelism and nepotism are resilient and obstruct political liberalisation and democratic consolidation. This paper draws on historical (neo)institutionalism, democratisation research and studies in economic history to understand the reproduction mechanisms of informal institutions in EU’s Eastern neighbourhood, and to propose a policy response, which could have the potential to disrupt these mechanisms. Outsourci…
Tertium datur
The article imports insights from prospect theory into the study of integration choices of ruling elites from Eastern Partnership countries. It introduces the notion of multi-attribute reference points and provides an example of identifying their coordinates, against which ruling elites from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine are expected to consider distinct integration choices: the European Union or Eurasian Economic Uni…
EU Democracy Promotion in Eastern ENP Countries
This study shows that the increased incentive structures from and the more intense socialization process with the European Union (EU) since the launch of European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) have not translated into a higher level of democratic development in Eastern ENP countries. However, on the long run (1991–2010), the EU democracy promotion in the region under consideration appears to be largely consistent. In addition, a content analysis of …
