Cohesion Policy and institutional change in Hungary and Estonia

What is it about?

Using a historical institutionalist approach, the development of EU Cohesion Policy and related national institutions are traced and compared in Hungary and Estonia, two post-socialist countries that transitioned and acceded to the EU in parallel processes.
