This book explores one of the central challenges facing the EU today - how to reconcile enlargement with the pursuit of a stronger and more effective European Union. The contributors challenge a variety of 'common wisdoms' concerning the relationship between widening and deepening, and collectively they offer the most nuanced, comprehensive picture available to date of the relationship between widening and deepening.
This book was published as a special issue of the
Journal of European Public Policy.
