The continuous expansion of the European Union has transformed its
very own self-conception. While Eastern enlargement was widely
celebrated as the 'reuniting of Europe', the sheer number of
applicants, their low economic development and the need for new
states to transform in accordance with EU values required
considerable adjustments to the EU's self-image. By examining the
European Council's contentious approval of the Mediterranean and
Central and Eastern European countries in the 1970s and 1990s, this
book investigates why the European Union enlarges. Based on new and
hitherto not analysed data, it introduces the concept of 'anomie'
to the discourse and, in doing so, makes a timely contribution to
the literature of constitutional politics and enlargement of the
European Union. This text will be of key interest to scholars and
students of the European Union, area studies (European studies,
central and east European studies, Mediterranean studies) and more
broadly comparative politics and constitutional politics.
