| Title | Transposition of EU legislation in new member states: A case study of the Czech Republic |
| Summary | EU implementation research has seen a significant development in the recent decade. However the study of transposition is still rather inconclusive. The present thesis partially fills in some of the existing research gaps. First, it engages theoretical and empirical impaction gathered by the scholarly literature to date. Second, two factors—conditionality and domestic politics, which are expected to influence the process of transposition, are derived the findings the analysis of secondary literature. Nevertheless, it shows that theoretical assumptions about the effects on the national transposition process of conditionality and the implications of transposition for the domestic legislative process does not hold in the present case. Rather, the thesis comes to the conclusion that transposing laws are very similar to regular legislation moved by the government. Additionally, the thesis also argues that administrative-legal aspects of transposition have good explanatory power. Finally, this thesis offers an overview of the very process of transposition and observes some features of the parliamentary debates in the Czech Parliament. |
