About the Book
Almost fifteen years after the end of the Cold War, the process of creating a "Europe whole and free" is incomplete and likely to be so for the foreseeable future. In this volume, a group of highly distinguished contributors from both East and West examines the complicated and multi-faceted process of NATO and EU enlargement in the context of the changed global situation since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

These essays examine the enlargement processes not only from the perspective of the West and western institutions, but also from the point of view of the former communist countries themselves. This approach reflects the conviction that the eastward movements of NATO and the EU should not be regarded simply as western-led processes to which the eastern states must adapt as best they can. If an enlarged NATO and EU are to be stable and successful in the long run, they must take account of the wishes and interests of both their new, former-communist members and those European states which will not for the foreseeable future be members of NATO, the EU, or both.
