Rhetorical Action

The decision of the European Union to expand to Central and Eastern Europe is a puzzle for rationalist intergovernmentalism. This approach to the study of European integration accounts for most of the preferences of the state actors and many characteristics of the intergovernmental bargaining process but fails to explain why it resulted in the opening of accession negotiations. I introduce the mechanism of rhetorical action in order to show how the supporters of enlargement succeeded in overcoming the superior material bargaining power of their opponents. Through the strategic use of arguments based on the liberal norms of the European international community, the “drivers” caught the “brakemen” in the community trap and, step by step, shamed them into acquiescing in Eastern enlargement.

The Impact

AbstractPolitical scientists have documented significant variation in political and economic outcomes of the 1989–91 revolutions. Countries bordering on western Europe have become relatively democratic and economically successful, with both democracy and wealth dropping off as one moves east and south. Explanations for this variation and the replication of an older pattern on the Eurasian landmass have moved farther and farther into the past. Yet in moving to the longue durée, more proximate events such as the revolutions of 1989, the demise of communism and even the communist experience itself recede into the background and are themselves accounted for by antecedent conditions. The article discusses how two more proximate factors helped to change older patterns in central and eastern Europe: the impact of communist modernisation and the prospect of European integration.

It is established that the introduction of modern technologies and educational innovations in the training of masters of pharmacy in universities of Central and Eastern Europe is carried out in the context of European integration, development of the Eastern Partnership in the European Union and associate members and partners. Pedagogical innovation is based on the use of innovative technologies (both pedagogical and informational and sectoral) in educational processes to improve their efficiency and quality assurance in higher education. According to the results of the study to improve the educational process of training and professional competence of future masters of pharmacy by means of innovative educational technologies in the context of European integration changes developed and implemented methods and scientific and methodological support - a portfolio of scientific and methodological complexes for classroom learning and remote access students on-line using a remote access platform. To determine the effectiveness of the organization of experimental training conducted on-line, the analysis of the effectiveness of solving cases of model professional situations, test control of student achievement and qualimetric questionnaires. The positive dynamics of students' academic achievements in the formation of professional competence of future masters of pharmacy has been established.

Process Oriented

This article reviews the third decade of the post-Wall transition of central and eastern Europe, paying particular attention to the western Balkans. It focuses on European integration and the indicators of deconsolidation - notably, the lack of trust which has characterised the ‘crisis of confidence’ induced by the EU’s own series of crises since the middle of the 2000s. Additionally, the rise of authoritarianism and populism across the region is often viewed as a symptom of a possible ‘de-democratisation’, or reverse wave. From a process-oriented perspective, the author suggests a rethinking of the various polarisations under which, instead of seeing democratisation and de-democratisation as opposing forces, we may recognise instead that both are actually continuous, interconnected processes related to democracy itself - and not (at least, not necessarily) to a growing state of non-democracy. Oscillation between these two states may well characterise the next decade of the transition but, if we are to address the problems that this causes, we must first understand precisely how we have got where we are.
