Effectiveness of the Polish, Danish and Cypriot Presidencies in the Field of Enlargement Policy – ‘a Project Assessment Perspective’

Polish presidency 2011, Danish presidency 2012, project assessment of the presidency, effectiveness, EU enlargement policyAbstract
This article concerns the evaluation of the Polish, Danish and Cypriot presidencies in the field of the European Union enlargement policy. In order to assess an effectiveness of both countries he uses a project assessment perspective, which theoretical model was initially developed in the book Skuteczność polskiej prezydencji w Unii Europejskiej (trans.: The effectiveness of the Polish presidency in the European Union). A thesis standing behind this approach says that after the treaty of Lisbon has come into force, and has changed crucial functions of each presidency, we can’t any more consider a country chairing the Council neither as honest broker nor as representative of own national interests. A project assessment perspective delivers more adequate categories based on project management theory and practice. In the empirical part of the study the author focuses on the effects of Polish, Danish and Cypriot activities in the field of relations with six candidate countries since 1 July 2011 till 31 December 2012.
