| dc.description.abstract | In the last three years, the Polish judiciary has been reformed from a liberal judicial system to an illiberal judicial system, thereby affronting the European Union. The incentives behind this shift cannot be derived from major changes in the international political climate or the economic situation in Poland. From the norm diffusion literature, it becomes evident that exogenous factors, such as transnational actors, can trigger norm change, but ultimately the success of norm diffusion depends on the domestic constellations. This thesis, therefore, aims to understand whether or not an explanation for the shift can be found in the domestic constellations of Poland. In order to do this, the congruence between three domestic constellations, namely cultural match, interest constellations and institutional fit, and illiberal norms has been analyzed using an inductive research design. The results of the analysis indicate the existence of a causal pathway between the domestic constellations which have led to the shift towards an illiberal judiciary. This means that the Polish domestic constellations favor illiberal norms over liberal norms and are the decisive factor in the norm diffusion process | en_US |
