Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze both the appearance and apparent absence of anti-EU politics in the newly democratizing states of East Europe. The cases examined are the Czech Republic, in which anti-EU sentiments have been prominently voiced and appear to play some role in national elections, and Romania where such sentiments have been marginalized and seem m have played little role in recent elections. Several possible explanations for these behaviors are considered. The aim of the paper is to explain the appearance or absence of the anti-EU politics in these countries' political dynamic, and suggest reasons which might apply to the phenomenon in other contexts.
