The advent of polity conditionality as a new form of internal governance in the European Union
While the European Union (EU) has traditionally used conditionality vis-á-vis candidate and third countries, it has more recently begun to deploy it internally, towards its member states.

Moreover, the Commission has proposed linking the disbursement of funds to respect for the rule of law (Rule of Law conditionality). However, the deployment of these measures has not restored compliance. Drawing …
