dc.description.abstractIn 2004, eight post-communist countries accessed to the European Union. According to the democratic criteria they were accepted to join the club of European member states. Now, more than a decade later, these countries show different signs of democratic success. What was the role of EU accession in making these states and its citizens more democratic? With the help of various theories and data the conclusion can be made that the EU is able to make their neighbors more supportive for democracy by giving them accession to the EU. However, this accession also has a dividing function between the globalization fans and critics, and the fear of losing the own culture plays a big role. This might cause the backsliding on the democratic scale of some of these countries.en_US
