Dr Eli Gateva

Eli’s main research interests cover EU enlargement policy, EU conditionality, Europeanisation, judicial reform and anti-corruption in Central and Southeast Europe. Eli’s monograph European Union Enlargement Conditionality (Palgrave, Macmillan, 2015) designs a rigorous conceptual framework for comparative analysis of EU enlargement conditionality and studies the development of EU enlargement conditionality across four different enlargement waves – the first (2004) and the second (2007) phase of the Eastern enlargement, the EU enlargement to Croatia (2013) and the ongoing enlargement round with Turkey and the Western Balkans.

Eli’s current research evaluates the limitations and the differential impact of EU conditionality applied to member states by focusing on the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM) and Task Force for Greece (TFGR).

Before joining York, Eli Gateva held academic posts at the University of Manchester and Queen Mary, University of London.
