The EU as a Regional Actor: The Case of the Czech Republic

Dan Marek and Michael Baun

Journal of Common Market Studies, 2002, vol. 40, issue 5, 895-919

Abstract: This article examines the impact of EU enlargement on regionalization in the Czech Republic. It asks whether pre–accession preparations for EU regional policy have promoted regionalization and governmental decentralization in the Czech Republic, a question prompted by the debate about EU regional policy and regionalization in the current Member States. After reviewing Czech preparations for EU regional policy and the administration of pre–accession structural aid programmes, it concludes that the EU’s impact on regionalization in the Czech Republic has been both limited and highly ambivalent. The article thus confirms the findings of previous research on EU enlargement and regionalization in the candidate countries.
