This edition of the Institutional Barometer represents a pioneering attempt by the coalition prEUgovor to measure the effects of reforms through the application of a unique methodology that analyses three dimensions of institutional functioning: internal efficiency, institutional embedment and legitimacy of the institution. The findings of this study represent a good source of information for various actors, both decision-makers and civil society, for addressing the identified shortcomings and improvement of the institutional design.
The conference is a part of the project prEUgovor Policy Watch: Monitoring Reforms in Chapters 23 and 24. This project is funded by the European Union.
