However, in practice the EU’s democratisation efforts beyond its borders – among its eastern and southern neighbourhoods – have been limited. The EU influence on democratisation in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean (SEM) region varies across countries from more advanced cooperation in the case of Morocco and Tunisia (post-Arab uprisings) to limited influence in most countries. Any success is based on the extent to which the member concerned is willing to cooperate with EU efforts.

The revolutions in the Arab world – that have caught the EU and Western countries by surprise – provide a window of opportunity for real democratic reforms in the region. The successful democratization in Tunisia will send positive messages to the neighboring countries. Why should the EU be more involved in supporting Tunisia's democratic transition? And what can the EU do to support Tunisia's efforts to build and reform its institutions and to move towards a consolidated democracy with a functioning market economy? Answering these research questions requires understanding the major failures of the EU in the Mediterranean region – the Union of the Mediterranean is on hold and conditionality (at least political conditionality) is problematic and questionable. Prior to the Dignity ...

However, some countries are so keen to join soon and succeeded in that such as Slovenia, while others are hesitant, such as Poland. Why do we witness such a wide diversity among the New Member States (NMS) as to their enthusiasm about euro adoption? Is their decision primary based on economic considerations (such as a cost-benefit analysis)? Are these countries considering adopting the euro fast or slow because of political considerations? Or are cultural reasons—a ‘belonging to Europe’— important? In other words, how can we explain and understand this diversity? This paper reviews the literature on how to study EMU from economic, political and policy perspective. It highlights the importance of the various perspectives and the need to look at other variables such as identity and symbols. Finally, it highlights some important indicators for the study of the decision of the NMS to join EMU fast (Slovenia) or slow

However, nothing in the Treaty on European Union specifies a time frame for joining the euro area. Some countries have already joined; the others have not. Slovenia joined in 2007, Cyprus and Malta in 2008 and Slovakia in 2009. The other eight NMS have not yet adopted the euro. Some have made serious attempts; others are far removed from having made the necessary preparations to be ready to join. How can we explain the difference in speed of euro adoption? A cost benefit-analysis indicating positive economic effects of euro adoption and the existence of shared economic values and beliefs among central bankers are insufficient to bring about speedy euro adoption. This paper develops a domesti...
