Enlargement & Integration in the European Union

The enlargement of the European Union in the 1990s, to encompass countries of Central and Eastern Europe has become critical for the future of European integration. The possibility that the EU might expand to thirty members in the first quarter of the next millennium poses fundamental questions concerning both the objectives and processes of the EU.

Enlargement & Integration in the European Union addresses the key issues that surround the EUs mission to expand. Christopher Preston begins by setting the context for evaluating the enlargement process. Analysing the traditional Community method of expansion he finds many shortcomings with its ability to handle future enlargement. The chapters explore: the past experience of enlargement, assessing what lessons can be drawn; the impact that enlargement has had on EU policies, institutions and on the new members themselves; and the likely future developments in the enlargement process.

This study of the crucial decisions facing the EU focuses on the Mediterranean, Central and Eastern Europe. With the theme of enlargement becoming ever more fundamental to the future of the EU, this book will be essential reading for students, specialists and practitioners of European Politics.

Christopher Preston is an adviser and author on European Integration. He is the British Know How Funds EU Integration Programme Director for Poland. He has lectured widely at universities in the UK and Scandinavia on European Integration, and has acted as an adviser on European affairs to a number of government and parliamentary bodies and international companies.

Many people have supported the writing of this book. In particular I would like to thank Professor Clive Church at the University of Kent who encouraged me and commented helpfully on the drafts; Professor Helen Wallace at the University of Sussex, with whom I have debated many of the arguments surrounding EU enlargement; the librarians at the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House in London who provided excellent research facilities and backup whilst writing; and to Sheila Ogden who so patiently word processed the drafts.

The book is dedicated to my wife, Susan, without whose support the book would never have been written.
