European Union Expansion

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the requirements for a country's entry into the European Union from the perspectives of the original EU members, the new members, and a variety of outside nations, particularly the United States.

From the Paper:

"When ten countries recently joined the 15 existing European Union (EU) member-states, the event represented the largest enlargement of the European Union in its history (Golino, 2003). One of the major perceived benefits of this union is that the countries formed an economic, political and military coalition with a combined population of 450 million people and an economy that produces approximately one-quarter of the world's annual output."
