However, one influence has largely been neglected so far: states\u2019 spatial dependency. Is it possible to observe diffusion to the extent that states\u2019 interlinkages allow their compliance with the <span class=\"roman\">acquis communautaire<\/span> to be assessed? Are candidate states more \u2013 or perhaps even less \u2013 likely to comply with EU law when other candidates do? The paper seeks to address these questions. By building on existing research on policy diffusion, it develops a theoretical framework for studying candidates\u2019 compliance with EU law over the accession process according to their spatial dependence. The theoretical argument focuses on \u2018competitive learning\u2019 and is tested with quantitative data. The results suggest that candidates\u2019 levels of compliance are indeed driven by spatial interlinkages; however, free riding seems more prevalent than enhanced compliance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mehr zu dieser Publikation <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/01402382.2014.943523\" target=\"_blank\">hier.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>in: West European Politics\u00a038: 3, 601-626.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publication"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Diffusion of Compliance in the \u2018Race towards Brussels?\u2019 A Spatial Approach to EU Accession Conditionality - EDP Netzwerk<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"in: West European Politics\u00a038: 3, 601-626.
