European Union Enlargement

Focusing on the European Council's controversial decisions regarding the Mediterranean and Central and Eastern European countries in the 1970s and 1990s, this book explores the motivations behind the European Union's enlargement. It introduces the novel concept of 'anomie' to enrich the discussion, providing fresh insights through previously unexamined data. This work makes a significant contribution to the fields of constitutional politics and EU enlargement literature, shedding light on the complexities of integration.
