Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This volume investigates how the integration of the Baltic States into the European Union has fundamentally altered their domestic governance structures and administrative practices. The editor, Bengt Jacobsson, compiles research from various scholars to examine the mechanisms of Europeanization, focusing on how EU norms, monitoring processes, and twinning programs influence the political and bureaucratic landscapes of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The text utilizes organization theory to analyze the transition from post-Soviet systems to EU-aligned governance frameworks.
