Quo Vadis Europe?

"Enlargement"- a word that is filling headlines, European agendas, conference titles, politicians plans…

The most extensive enlargement of the European Union is about to change the European political map in the coming years. Thirteen counties (Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Turkey) are preparing to enter the EU. The current members of the EU must evaluate the consequences of opening their borders, the shift in political and economic balance in the EU and Europe and the reform of the EU institutions? Will there be a "United States of Europe"?

Applicant countries have to redefine their relations with their neighbouring countries that will remain outside the EU. What changes will take place in their relationship with these countries? What will they gain out of the free market system? What will they lose? What about the amendments in the current educational programmes? Will the new EU frontiers change its role in the world?
