Includes bibliographical references and index.

This work discusses the potential enlargement of the EU to embrace the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the enormous challenges, opportunities and threats this poses for parties on both sides. Understanding of the diversity of the issues raised, even by experimental expansion, is limited and rarely extends beyond the concerns voiced in a particular policy arena. This volume brings together contributions from specialists across the spectrum of the social sciences who consider the possible outcomes. The authors consider the countries to which membership might rationally be extended, and discus the future of a Union that continues to be exclusive, but which must advance in the context of the overall march of globalization. The contributions from numerous disciplines are complementary and include both macro and micro perspectives.
