The central topic in this volume is enlargement-induced
institutional change of the European Union (EU). Ever since its
embryonic stages, the EU has been a highly attractive organisation
to join. The EU consists of 27 member states (2007) and after
several rounds of accession it looks as if enlargement is in the
Union's genes. Moreover, the EU has far-reaching supranational
competences which are widely varying in an increasing number of
areas. These reveal the coincidence of widening and deepening as
the distinctive feature of European integration. The purpose of
this volume - Europa: Charming Zeus ... and Numerous Others:
International Political Economy of EU Accession - is to provide the
reader with a rationale which explains rather than describes
integration processes. The volume offers both a new theoretical
framework for the study of enlargement-induced institutional change
and a wide range of empirical studies which are original in topic
and approach. Contributions range from historical overviews of the
processes of enlargement, to analyses of specific policy fields and
the modelling of decision-making in the EU. What the contributions
have in common is that they focus on the dynamics of integration
and follow the leading question of international political economy
as put forward by Susan Strange: Cui bono?
