Opis

Developed and significantly expanded from a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy, this volume draws on the insights from the recently emerging theoretically-informed literature on the EU's eastern enlargement and complements these studies with original articles that combine a theoretical approach with comparative analyses. The expert contributors focus on the broader theoretical debates and their implications for the enlargement of the EU, as well as placing the enlargement of the EU within the broader context of the expansion of international organizations and the study of institutions in international relations.
This volume is a key reference text presenting the 'state of the art' of theoretical approaches to the study of European enlargement.

Recenzje

‘It was certainly high time for a book that identifies the most important novel trends in the study of how this new Europe came about.’ - West European Politics, Vol. 29
