Comparing four groups of post-communist transition countries—those which became EU members, those with candidate status, and two groups which are considered mere partners with or without a future membership perspective—the authors examine to what extent there are visible accession effects. The basic assumption is that countries which were under the pressure of the Copenhagen criteria and under constant EU supervision should have developed more favourably than the others with respect to good governance, dynamic market economy growth, and public policies in line with the idea of a European social model. The empirical analysis seeks to clarify to what extent there were selection effects prior to EU candidacy, to what extent countries with and without a membership option diverged, and to what extent there was convergence within the groups of member states, of candidate countries and of other post-socialist countries. Accession effects are found to be more discernible in the fields of economic growth and of political democracy than in the fields of social cohesion and quality of life.

The door leading to the European Union is practically open to every European state. However, some defined conditions must be satisfied, which are contained in the primary sources of the Union’s laws. Meeting political, volitional, economic and legal criteria allows more and more states to expand the Union’s space, and – at the same time – to strengthen the Union’s market economy, democracy and safety on the Continent. Admitting a new state to be a member of the European Union is – without a doubt – an important act for the Union, as well as for the candidate state itself. For neither of the parties is it an easy procedure, although the rise in the number of states – members of the European Union – from 6 to 28 testifies to the fact that all the parties were and are interested in expanding to an equal extent. It needs to be underlined that the current number of the states which make the common space of the European Union in the year 2013 certainly is not the ultimate one.
