Abstract

European institutions are seen as having a positive role in the processes of democratic consolidation in East and Central Europe through the transmission of democratic norms. But not all democratic norms appear to be promoted with equal success by international institutions. This study focuses on the unsuccessful transmission of the norm of transparency. I show how the EU, the Council of Europe, and NATO were unable to influence the adoption of legislation impacting the free flow of information. I argue that this lack of success was due to the nature of the norm and its lack of “resonance” with the foundational norms on these institutions.
