| Summary: | Several decades ago, leaders of six European countries with an inclusive vision of Europe and
strong courage started a construction without precedent, the European Union. The remarkable construction
evolved not only concerning the number of the Member States, but also in terms of institutional and
functional development. Nowadays, the European Union is one of the most important changing factor
concerning the governance and the policy-making process at European level and not only, and there is no
doubt that the EU will continue to grow as an increasing number of countries express interest in membership.
This paper reveals in a comparative perspective the path to European Union Accession, and is based on
documentary analysis, using strategy-level documents of the countries and the Progress Reports the European
Commission provided during the past enlargement. |
