HARTMAN, Luke T.. Leveraging Tools: Integrating Discourse and Ideas into the Analysis of EU Enlargement of the Western Balkans. Rev. Urug. Cienc. Polít. [online]. 2015, vol.24, n.spe, pp.49-66. ISSN 0797-9789.

Abstract: Recent efforts to develop Discursive Institutionalism’s (DI) analytical toolkit have produced useful, well-organized instruments that help researchers decode challenging empirical puzzles and synthesize vast amounts of empirical data into digestible kernels of explanatory insight. In this article, I demonstrate how two tools -Schmidt’s DI tables and the Carstensen and Schmidt’s ideational power triad? can help us better understand the dynamics of institutional change as it relates to the European Integration in the Western Balkans.
