与目前成为欧盟体系一部分的欧盟成员国及其具有更巩固的国家行政传统的凝聚力政策相反，中东欧国家在经历了数十年的国家社会主义集中制和政治化官僚体制之后，面临着重建其区域层面的挑战，并且在民主转型之初，中央和地方政府之间发生了变化。虽然它们的情况在宪法上似乎更加“开放”，但欧盟提供政策指导的利益和能力比其现任成员国或以前的扩大国家更大。本文旨在评估如何以及在何种程度上加入欧盟前的制度，竞争的国内政治行为者和国家行政传统的利益，形成了新的区域一级的行政机构在加入国家。虽然本文的实证重点是保加利亚、捷克共和国、匈牙利、波兰和斯洛伐克，但将对欧洲化辩论得出一般性结论。
Contrary to the current EU member states which became part of the EU system and its cohesion policy with more consolidated national administrative traditions, the CEECs are faced with the challenge of reconstructing their regional levels after decades of state socialist centralism and politicized bureaucracy, and as a “missing link” between central and local governments that were transformed at the outset of democratic transition. While their situation appears to be constitutionally more “open,” the interests and capabilities of the EU to provide policy guidance are greater than in the case of its incumbent member states or previous enlargements. The paper seeks to assess how and to what extent the pre-accession regime of the EU, the interests of competing domestic political actors and the national administrative traditions have shaped the new regional-level administrations in the accession countries. While the empirical focus of the paper is on Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, general conclusions will be drawn with respect to the Europeanization debate.
