  • Set a date for enlargement now
    Bulletin article by Heather Grabbe, 01 December 2000

    Bulletin article by David Harrison, 01 December 1998

    Ben Hall writes interestingly about the distinction between looser, inter-governmental forms of EU co-operation and actual EU legislation ('detailed, centrally-set rules') in CER Bulletin Issue 2. I agree such a distinction is helpful. But is it in fact new?

    Report by David Barchard, 03 July 1998

    Relations between Turkey and the European Union have seldom been worse. Unless they improve, this strategically-crucial country may turn its back on Europe. David Barchard calls on the EU to give firmer assurances that Turkey is eligible for membership.
  • Opening the door: The enlargement of NATO and the European Union
    Report by William Wallace, 06 September 1996
