Sekuli? maps the institutional dimension of the accession process, and analyses how the conditionality principle shapes and constrains the space for negotiation within the EU. Combining ethnographic research with the discourse analysis of the European Commission?s reports and documents from 2008 to 2019 concerning the Western Balkan countries, the book also explores the perceptions and agency of the individuals involved in this process. The European Union and the Paradox of Enlargement will be of interest to students and scholars of European integration, the sociology of Europe and the EU, and Eastern European and Western Balkan studies. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in European Political Sociology 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aEuropean Union 606 $aPolitical Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22170 606 $aEuropean Union Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911140 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aEuropean Union. 615 14$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aEuropean Union Politics. 676 $a341.2422 676 $a300 700 $aSekuli?$b Tatjana$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0500872 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483284503321 996 $aThe European Union and the Paradox of Enlargement$92162740 997 $aUNINA
