THE POWER OF THE COPENHAGEN CRITERIA
Tanja Marktler
Abstract
The following paper examines different aspects of the Copenhagen
criteria, which, albeit well-known and often cited, are far
from self-explanatory. Historical facts and an analysis of several offi
cial documents permit a better understanding of the spirit and purpose
of these criteria, which play a decisive role in the integration
process. The theoretical part of the paper is rounded out by a case
study presenting a general overview of relations between the European
Union and Croatia.
