European convergence of public administration reforms

ENEuropean integration is based on European Convergence, which has a dual component. The duality of the European convergence processes means that it could be defined both as: (i) homogenization and as (ii) a mutual influence. Practical implementation of the EU policy for Central and Eastern countries was carried out through the public administration reforms, trying to incorporate them into the common European administrative space. This kind of reform was expected to take the path of homogenization, but empirical research revealed that European convergence of public administration reforms sometimes took the path of mutual influence.
