- Abstract
This review article examines the contributions we have selected for this special issue in terms of what they have had to say about EU enlargement to the southeast. Given that the timetable for accession for south-east Europe stretches - even still - into the long-term, it seeks expressly to explore what our authors have had to say about why the pace of enlargement has been so much slower than that of previous enlargements. Looking at the barriers that remain and at where the fault lines continue to lie, our review highlights a descent into sclerosis but also seeks to explore avenues of change that offer a more positive view of the prospects for enlargement. In repeating the call for the Commission to adopt a new vision for Europe, the review emphasises the need for the creation of an EU that truly achieves unity and solidarity. In doing so, the review highlights the benefits of expansion for the EU itself, given its own security needs and existing high-priority policy concerns, as well as for the countries of south-east Europe.
