Abstract (may include machine translation)

The European Union upon which this Report focuses is by no means fixed. Negotiations have already begun that may see the EU’s enlargement to include five post-communist countries in Central Europe by the early years of the 21st century, and it is possible that further expansion into Eastern Europe will occur after that. It is often assumed that such a ‘widening’of EU membership will prevent any ‘deepening’of the role of the Union within the member states. It is argued that an expanded membership will seriously limit the policy options available to the EU, since members will have increasingly disparate characteristics, giving only the most shallow opportunities for integration.
