Big EU, Big Success?
On May 1, 2004, ten countries joined the European Union. Ten years on, many people in both the East and the West retain a skeptical view of that historic enlargement.

Carnegie’s Judy Dempsey joined Melinda Crane on Deutsche Welle’s Quadriga to discuss the 2004 enlargement of the European Union, seen as one of the EU’s biggest successes. On the tenth anniversary of that historic enlargement, Judy Dempsey discussed what this means today for European citizens, both in the East and in the West, and the EU’s answer to growing support for Euroskeptic right-wing populist parties.
“The EU enlargement has given the new member states a kind of psychological, political, and economic security,” said Judy Dempsey. “Without the enlargement, they would have been in very bad shape during this Ukraine crisis,” she added.This interview was originally aired on Deutsche Welle’s Quadriga.
