Exploring the Effects of Europeanization on the Openness of Public Administration in Croatia
The paper aims to contribute to understanding of effects of the Europeanization on the openness of public administration in Croatia. EU accession negotiations process has a very limited impact on “soft acquis” area of good administration, unless it manages to create strong incentives for key “norm entrepreneurs” to get activated. Despite an increasing number of EU driven opportunity structures, the involvement of citizens and interest groups in the essential agenda-setting phase of the policy making process remained very limited during Croatia’s EU accession. Due to specific features of the country’s membership negotiations many interest groups were provided with new opportunities to play more decisive role in policy monitoring and evaluation phase and strengthen their visibility in domestic policy- making environment. The paper offers some preliminary insights into key catalysts and constraints shaping the efforts towards open administration in the pre-accession period, as well as into sustainability of these efforts during post-accession.
