EU Anti-Corruption Efforts in the Eastern Neighbourhood: The Ambitions-Capability Gap of the European Union

By Mihai-Razvan Corman

In EU Anti-Corruption Efforts in the Eastern Neighbourhood, Mihai-Razvan Corman provides a fresh and original legal analysis of the EU's capability to tackle this complex and multi-facetted phenomenon beyond its borders. Key legal instruments and mechanisms from the external dimension are examined and contrasted to the EU's anti-corruption arsenal towards Member States. Special attention is dedicated to the EU's anti-corruption capability in the areas of organized and cross-border crime, public procurement and political party financing. In particular, this book focuses on the implications of the EU's internal capability for its external efforts. It also explores to what extent there is a gap between the EU's high ambitions of tackling corruption in the Eastern Neighbourhood and its actual legal capability. While EU anti-corruption efforts in Moldova serve as a crucial case study, its engagement in the other candidate countries from the EaP is also incorporated in the analysis.
