Abstract

This chapter focuses on the impact of European economic governance on international business behaviour in the new member countries of the EU. The experiences of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia during both the pre- and post-accession periods are examined. The main tasks of the paper are as follows:

to define the notion of ‘European governance’ and to examine the relationship between European economic governance and global governance;

to analyze the impact of European economic governance on international business within the Single European Market and the impact of different EU policy instruments on international business behaviour following the accession of the New Member States;

to present international business performance in the Mew member States.
