How did the IPA funds (2007-2013) help Macedonia in the processes of Europeanization and EU-ization?

Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)

The launch of the EU Copenhagen Criteria in 1993, at the time, could not have been anticipated as a challenge that certain countries would find unsurmountable. Superficially read, they included every principle that a democratic country should strive for: stability and democracy, institutions competent and able to support and withhold that process, rule of law, respect for human and minority rights, economic prosperity and administration and institutions ready and capable of harmonizing with the European acqui communitaire.This thesis reflects upon the financial help that the EU is providing to the candidate and potential candidate states through its IPA funds.The specific case for this paper is Macedonia.
