In the eyes of the people. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, July 2009, Pages: 100
On the first of May 2004 ten new countries became
members of the European Union bringing 75 million
people into the Union, and the expansion was the
largest and most ambitious in the history of the EU.
Considering the maze of complexities linked to the
countries different political, economic and
historical contexts, this enlargement was an
especially tangled case. Based on the citizen`s
perceptions of the benefits of EU membership the
question addressed is: What can explain whether or
not the EU membership is considered a country benefit?
This study moves beyond the predominant single-case
design in enlargement research, and uses a
comparative approach analyzing the impact of EU
enlargement on the Central European, Eastern European
and Mediterranean states.
