In retrospect, NATO and EU enlargements can be viewed as fairly simple processes; they admitted states that wanted to be accepted and were lavishly rewarded. In contrast, this study explores the harder politics waged by the much larger regional organizations of the Council of Europe and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). These organizations lack material incentives or instruments of coercion, instead having to work on the basis of shared values. They also face a variety of threats from discordant members. In this book, the author uses internal conditionality to explain how these organizations have cleverly and subtly responded to such difficulties. Drawing on interviews in a range of post-communist countries and with practitioners inside and outside the organizations, the diverse case studies in this book examine issues of conflict, democratization, the death penalty, rewarding high office and retaining institutional membership. The author explores how international organizations which lack powers of compulsion can respond to recalcitrant member-states and offers practical lessons for the international promotion of norms.
