ADVANCING THE REFORM AGENDA WITHIN THE EU ASSOCIATION AGREEMENTS: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MOLDOVA, GEORGIA, AND UKRAINE ON THE ROLE OF CIVIL SOCIETY

The research on this topic is important in order to present a comparative perspective of the progress towards European integration among the most active pro-European states in the Eastern Partnership. The methodology of the study consists in analytical research and empirical investigations involving quantitative and qualitative tools: gathering of data, analysis of documents, normative and legislative in-depth analysis, and reports
