“…Suddenly, its own rhetoric of overcoming division in the whole of Europe was put to the test. Its immediate response was to provide leadership in co-ordinating the assistance of all the G-24 countries to the region (Pelkmans and Murphy, 1991). Already, before the escalation of political events in mid-1989, the EC had offered trade agreements to the front-runners of the democratic movement, Poland and Hungary.…”

This article applies an analytical framework of governance and boundaries to explore the development of EU relations with the central and eastern European countries (CEEC) and the politics of enlargement. It examines how boundary changes create opportunities and incentives to extend governance below the membership line. Furthermore, it demonstrates how, through a process of internalization, the CEEC increasingly impact on EU governance through issue linkage, changes in actors' preferences and effects on the negotiation process. This demonstrates a linkage between the governance system and the EU's capacity to contribute to Europe's wider political, security and economic order.

“…Ever since the G-24 entrusted the European Commission with the pivotal role in coordinating Western assistance to Central and Eastern Europe, the EU (and the Commission) have been thrust into a leadership role in the region. 70 It is only fairly recently that the EU has started to seek a role for the ENP in conflict prevention and management. Here, any EU effort needs to be matched by the ENP countries and their readiness to accept the EU as an actor in conflict prevention and resolution.…”

“…In response to these proposals, during the G7 Western Economic Summit in Paris, the Commission of the EU was given a mandate to coordinate aid for Poland and Hungary on behalf of all the countries of OECD (the Organization for Economic Cooperation andDevelopment) (Pelkmans & Murphy 1991). Following a meeting, the Commission established the PHARE programme (Poland and Hungary: Assistance for Reconstructing Economies) and later TACIS (Technical Assistance for the Commonwealth of Independent States) (Treverton 1992).…”

Aid to eastern Europe is designed specifically for macroeconomic stabilization and projects in infrastructure, nuclear weaponsandnuclearwaste disposal, improvement of theenvironment, training, transfer of technologyandacquisition of know-howrelated to the functioningof democratic institutions, market economies and administrative systems. Most of these aid programmes are conditional upon adoption of far reaching economic and political reforms. Unfortunately, the donor countries lack coherent strategy and political will to devote substantial resources to the goal of stabilization of eastern Europe. Western aid is often considered in eastern Europe as overly cautions and overdue. Ethnic conflicts, the depth of economic decline and the sheer size of this region contribute to the confusion and shortsightedness of aid policies. Western aid is unlikely to make any significant impact on the process of reforms and stabilization of eastern Europe if it is to continue unmodified.
