The article "EU Enlargement: A Legal Approach" explores the legal implications of the EU's expansion to include countries in Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe. Scholars and officials from the EU and new Member States discuss how accession conditions are set, the process of joining the EU, and the impact on EU institutions and policies. The research aims to understand how the EU's rules and strategies are adapted for new members, monitor changes in candidate countries' laws, and predict how enlargement will affect the EU as a whole.
