Abstract

The 2002 Copenhagen European Council marked an historical decision to conclude accession negotiations with eight Central and Eastern European countries together with Cyprus and Malta. In spite of all of the difficulties both sides to the accession negotiations had to overcome, this marked a 'happy ending' for the States which, for the past decade, have been undergoing a transitional process. Notwithstanding the utmost importance of the enlargement, to date there was no concise series of materials which would address at length the many challenges and problems raised by the preparation for it. The Handbook on European Enlargement fills this gap. This is a very good summary of the articles on the adaptation for future enlargement, on the one hand, by the EU and its Member States, and, on the other, by the future new members, including efforts by Romania and Bulgaria, which are expected to be ready to join the EU by the year 2007, and Turkey, which, according to the Copenhagen Council, does not yet meet the political criteria. There are nearly fifty contributors to the book, practitioners and academics from both the present and future Member States, ensuring a good balance of viewpoints. The aim of
