POLICY COHERENCE, EFFECTIVENESS, OPENNESS AND PARTICIPATION IN EUROPEAN UNION

Öz

Openness, participation, accountability, effectiveness and the coherence are the indicators of good governance and the changes proposed in the White Paper, adopted by the European Commission in July 2001. The fundamental object of the White Paper is to establish more democratic forms of governance at the different levels. In this paper, canonical correlation analysis has been employed to examine the relationship between the indicators of good governance, namely the sets of “policy coherence/effectiveness” and “openness/participation” in EU-15 countries.
