From democracy assistance to importing transition experience: the case of post-Soviet local government and defence reforms

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter maps the dynamics and effects of CEE bilateral assistance in Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova, between 2003 and 2013. It is often asserted that CEE actors are better equipped to provide technical assistance and policy advice in the post-Soviet context, if compared to traditional Western donors, by virtue of having undergone a similar process of transformation. To be sure, Central Europeans lack the resources, geopolitical power, and normative hegemony that Western actors can marshal to promote institutional and policy change in the post-Soviet East. Nonetheless, Poles, Slovaks or Lithuanians possess qualities that lend them distinct legitimacy and credibility in Kiev or Tbilisi: practical experience with reform implementation, and intimate knowledge of post-socialist realities. The chapter puts the assumptions into an empirical test. It traces the efforts of CEE actors - government officials, NGOs and independent experts - to promote transition experience in local government reform (including regional policy) and defence reform (including NATO integration) in Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova.
