This chapter examines the impact of supranational organisations on policy making in the Czech Republic. The question to be answered is to what extent are national policy formulations influenced by international and national expertise - in the context of the direct influence of supranational organisations on national public policy making.
We focus predominantly on the processes of problem identification and policy formulation; nevertheless, where necessary, implementation and evaluation of policies is taken into account as well. After a theoretical outline, we present three case studies from different policy fields: social policy, educational policy and defence policy.
