The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the international development policies of ten Central and Eastern European countries that joined the EU between 2004 and 2007. The contributors offer the first thorough overview of the 'new' EU member states' development cooperation programmes, placing them in a larger political and societal context.

It aims to fill a gap in the EU development policy literature by investigating the transformation and evolution of the development cooperation policies of CEE donors on the basis of both European and domestic dynamics. ... offers a comprehensive assessment of the development policies of new EU member states and is a valuable addition to existing knowledge about EU development policy. ... very useful for students and researchers who have a specific interest in EU development policy and CEE countries.
