Beschreibung
This collection of essays by a multinational group of
authors examines the political, social and economic
consequences of the most recent enlargement of the European
Union. It does not confine itself to a discussion of the
impact on the new member states but also considers the
likely effects of this enlargement on the EU itself. These
effects include not only the familiar need for new modes of
governance but also involve other changes resulting from a
process of what has been called mutual learning. These
essays analyse various aspects of this process starting with
the Constitutional Convention. Sometimes the focus is
on the impact on the new members, sometimes on the changes
likely to occur in the EU and its older members as a result
of this enlargement. The emphasis on change is encapsulated
in the book’s title, `Europe on the Move’.
