Abstract

The paper begins with a brief survey of the application of political conditionality in the EU’s foreign relations. As political conditionality is also a feature of the EU’s structured relationship with the developing world, the EU’s Lomé framework also will be examined. The paper continues to examine the evolution of EU-CECC relations from the initial PHARE agreements to the present consideration of CEEC accession to the EU. The specific case-study of EU relations with the Slovak Republic explores the particulars of the implementation of the EU’s political conditionality with the CEECs.
