A clearly written, detailed, and accessible volume on the current enlargement process. Apart from its historical detail, this work is generously referenced and includes a useful list of further reading on the topic.
— Political Theory
As an EU institutional 'insider,' I thoroughly enjoyed reading A Wider Europe. It brings together, in a narrative and easy-to-read way, all the key issues currently forming part of the European Union's enlargement process. The book is full of well-researched insights and offers readers an excellent historical reference to an extraordinary political process.
