Description:
'The Politics of EU Accession' is a study of European Union enlargement and of politics in a new member state - Hungary. How do parties adopt and change positions on the European question? How do they balance the demands that ideology, voters and participation in coalition government place on them? What are the sources of Euroscepticism, and how deep and widespread is it among the parties and the public? This book addresses these questions by analyzing the politics of Hungary's accession to the EU, from the early 1990s to 2004. It provides a conceptually grounded yet accessible analysis of the way questions related to European Union membership, and European integration in general, are channeled into political life.It also provides one of the first English-language introductions to the government and politics of Hungary since the fall of communism. The book's starting point is a comparative exploration of the impact of European integration on party politics, in both Western and Eastern Europe. The subsequent chapters review the Hungarian political parties' history, ideological profiles, electoral competition, coalition-building in government and opposition, as well as the dynamics of public opinion. 'The Politics of EU Accession' will be of interest to both academics and a broader audience concerned with party politics in Central and Eastern Europe and with the contestation of European integration in EU member states.
