The EU is many things: a civilization ideal to emulate, an anchor of
geopolitical stabilization, a generous donor and a historical lesson
on cooperation across nations. A fixer of national governance
problems, however, it is not. In this book, Mungiu-Pippidi
investigates the efficacy of the European Union's promotion of good
governance through its funding and conditionalities both within EU
proper and in the developing world. The evidence assembled shows that
the idea of European power to transform the quality of governance is
largely a myth. From Greece to Egypt and from Kosovo to Turkey, EU
interventions in favour of good governance and anti-corruption policy
have failed so far to trigger the domestic political dynamic needed to
ensure sustainable change. Mungiu-Pippidi explores how we can better
bridge the gap between the Europe of treaties and the reality of
governance in Europe and beyond. This book will interest students and
scholars of comparative politics, European politics, and development
studies, particularly those examining governance and corruption.
