Opis

This volume looks at the process of enlargment which the European Union is currently undertaking, focusing on both the economic and political dimensions of the subject. It examines how enlargment has evolved and looks at the roles and relations of the different member states, applicant states and EU institutions. Part one provides an overview of the formal enlargment process and the progress the applicant states have made on their economic transition. Part two analyzes the completion of questionnaires by applicant states, a significant stage in the application process. The following part explores the intergovernmental conference that formally opened in 1996. Part four looks at the geopolitical consequences of enlargment. A postscript details the method and the conditions of the enlargment negotations at the present time.
