It  concludes that the EU’s democratization role in this region was, not  surprisingly, weak within this time period. However, this weak role only took  shape under four domestic and transnational conditions: (a) a higher cost-benefit  balance of rule transfer, (b) a lower structural difficulty a given country  would need to overcome on its way towards a democratic regime, (c) increased  levels of authority distribution across branches of power, and (d) a higher  extent of democratic diffusion resulting from regional interactions. In those  countries where these domestic and transnational conditions were present, as  in Moldova, Ukraine, and Georgia, the EU’s democratizing influence was in  causal terms only the tip of the iceberg. Most variation in regime dynamics remains  to be explained by domestic and transnational contexts.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-01-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349950874\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-56326-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 270\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44753450533004,"sku":"9781349950874","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349950874.jpg?v=1776773359","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781349950874","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
