Challenges of Developing Open Policymaking in the Western Balkans
The level of openness of policymaking has gradually become important indicator of the progress of public administration reform in countries aspiring for the EU membership. Based on lessons learned from previous enlargement rounds, the EU has gradually reformed its pre-accession assistance strategy, by putting more emphasis on building capacities of government bodies for implementing more open and inclusive styles of democratic governance. Nevertheless, the countries of the region are still facing substantial challenges in this area. This chapter seeks to identify main factors that affect the quality of openness of Western Balkans’ governments with particular emphasis on their ability to ensure adequate access to information, transparent and predictable decision-making, and timely public participation. It is claimed that the specific design of the EU accession negotiations favours and often legitimizes the dominance of executive, while at the same time weakening the position of legislative bodies and civil society actors.
