Enlarging the Eu Eastwards

by Heather Grabbe, Kirsty Hughes

Ensuring stability and prosperity for post-Cold War Europe will depend heavily on successful eastward enlargement of the EU. But enlargement raises difficult issues for the EU and the applicant countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Is the EU capable of reforming its institutions and policies to cope with 25 or more members? Which Central and East Europeans will join, and when? How can it be ensured that enlargement will bring the economic and security benefits expected of it?
