Thomas Mehlhausen

European Union Enlargement

Material interests, community norms and anomie

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
