Chips off the Old Block: Europeanisation of the Foreign Policies of Western Balkan States. Bojinović Fenko, A. & Stahl, B. In Džankić, J., Keil, S., & Kmezić, M., editors, The Europeanisation of the Western Balkans: A Failure of EU Conditionality?, of New Perspectives on South-East Europe, pages 39–62. Palgrave Macmillan, London, 2019. ![Chips off the Old Block: Europeanisation of the Foreign Policies of Western Balkan States [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex This chapter investigates the concept of Europeanisation of foreign policy and applies it to a case study of a challenging foreign policy situation for both EU member states and Western Balkans non-member states, i.e. the European migrant crisis of 2015–2016. Authors elaborate on the subject of Europeanisation, showing that the domestic impact of EU foreign policy is expected to be weaker than in the field of communiterised policies (e.g. immigration policy) due to prevalence of political rather than legal nature of decisions. They verify a thesis that due to effects of internalisation of EU CFSP values and norms, EU member states would act according to the logic of appropriateness whereas non-member states would rather avoid making meaningful foreign policy choice should its costs bee too high to their national interest. To the contrary, the authors’ findings show the opposite. In their empirical analysis, they prove that the official relation of a state to the EU not only in terms of membership but even towards the immigration policy does not uniformly determine the Europeanisation effects on foreign policy. For Western Balkan EU candidate states Europeanisation effects are comparable or even stronger than the ones of (Schengen and non-Schengen) member states. These findings challenge the idea of an overall Europeanisation effect due to mere membership but support the notion of a Europeanisation pull in the accession process.
