English summary: The aim of this book is to identify the role of the EU in the consolidation of democracy in Slovakia during the 1990s. The first chapter explores the concept of Europe in Slovak politics. In Slovakia, Europe was used as a rhetorical tool by all political forces. The relationship between Slovakia and the EU institutions and member states is analyzed in the second chapter. Inside the EU, there initially was much insecurity about the development of Slovakia. But the disastrous results in terms of democracy and rule of law of the Meciar government made the decision of 1997 not to start the accession negotiations largely uncontroversial. The last chapter deals with the EU's part in Slovakia's democratic consolidation. EU integration was a hotly discussed topic in the run-up of the 1998's parliamentary elections. Slovakia's failing in the integration process fueled growing concerns that Slovakia might not be able to catch up with the West. Among the used sources are documents from the diplomatic archive of the Slovak ministry of foreign affairs and the author's own interviews with some of the involved persons. The author argues that the EU, thanks to its huge prestige in Slovakia, helped significantly to get rid of the authoritarian tendencies. German text. German description: Fur die neuen Demokratien Ostmitteleuropas stellte Europa, verkorpert durch die Europaische Union, einen massgeblichen normativen Bezugspunkt in den Wirren der Transformation dar. Im Fall der Slowakei wirkte die EU in den 1990er-Jahren sogar als wichtigste externe Instanz, welche die gefahrdete Demokratie zu bewahren half. Der slowakische Diskurs uber Europa und die europaischen Werte bot den geeigneten Boden, damit das Engagement der EU-Institutionen Wirkungen entfalten konnte. Ausgehend von erstmalig ausgewerteten diplomatischen Quellen zeigt dieses Buch, wie intensiv und teilweise widerspruchlich die Versuche der europaischen Institutionen zur Beeinflussung des politischen Prozesses in der Slowakei waren. Heftige Polemik unter den slowakischen politischen Eliten, denen Europa als Legitimationsressource diente, war die Folge. Gleichzeitig fand eine Klarung statt, welche Mittel im politischen Prozess erlaubt waren und wo die Schwelle zum Autoritarismus lag. Hier wird die These vertreten, dass der beinahe einhellige Wunsch der slowakischen Burger nach Zugehorigkeit zu Westeuropa in Verbindung mit der Einmischung der EU die Demokratie in der Slowakei rettete.
