For years to come, the issue of enlargement - to the north and the east - is going to remain at the centre of debate over the future shape of the European Community. This book draws together a wide range of complex issues influencing European affairs and explains how they interact. Among the topics covered are the impact of the Maastricht Treaty on applicant countries; a discussion on the impact of the French and Danish referenda; the relationship between the EC and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries - Austria, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland; the relationship between the EC and Hungary, Poland and the Czech and Slovak Republic; and the way in which Cyprus, Malta and Turkey have pursued their applications for membership in the EC.

This cutting-edge book explores the practices and socialization of the everyday foreign policy making in the European Union (EU), focusing on the individuals who shape and implement the Common Foreign and Security Policy despite a growing dissension among member states. The authors provide theoretically informed analyses based on up-to-date empirical material from the Political and Security Committee, Council working groups, the European External Action Service, EU delegations, military and civilian missions and operations and EU member state embassies. They illustrate the ways in which European foreign policy is shaped through the daily work of diplomats, exploring the communities of practice that are formed in the process of policy-making in the EU. Combining socialization and practice approaches, the book offers an innovative take on the motivations behind integration at a time of European discord. Providing a unique inside account of diplomatic practices and the coordination of EU foreign policy, this insightful book is crucial reading for students of political science and international relations at all levels seeking to better understand the minutiae of formulating and coordinating EU foreign and security policy. Its empirical analyses will also benefit scholars and researchers interested in European integration and socialization in international organizations, as well as practitioners, such as diplomats and European civil servants.

This book is an innovative and highly original exercise in scenario building, the aim of which is to investigate the future of Europe. The scenarios investigated by the authors include 'triumphant markets', 'turbulent neighborhoods', 'the hundred flowers', 'shared responsibilities' and 'creative societies'. These are five coherent and thought-provoking images of Europe in 2010. Rather than present a definitive picture of the future of Europe, the authors highlight the range of possible futures, and the factors and actors that are likely to shape them. Written in a narrative style, the scenarios are grounded in a rigorous analysis of the main trends affecting Europe's future, including demography, technology, globalization and post-modernity. 
This book will appeal to European policymakers and all scholars and students of European studies, particularly those interested in Europe's future.
