The fifth enlargement of the EU to include Central§and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) has led to the§creation of new policy instruments, which will become§a common feature in future enlargement rounds of the§Community. Drawing on policy transfer literature and§new forms of governance, this book explores the role§of the EU and its administrative conditionality in§shaping the public administration reforms in Central§and Eastern Europe (CEE). It analyses the§introduction of the twinning exercise as well as§the procedural changes which had to be introduced in§order to facilitate the secondment of member states §civil servants to administrations in CEE. While§emphasizing a new tendency in EU policymaking, the§use of the semi-voluntary forms of coordination among§its member states and the applicants, it is argued§that the substantive policies of the enlargement§process allow for the transfer of institutional§models. The book regards the introduction of the§twinning exercise as mainly driven by lesson-drawing.§It argues that, in the long run, the policy outcome§of twinning projects is convergence in form of§hybridisation rather than compliance on the basis of full transfer .
