ISBN: 1403916322 ISBN-13: 9781403916327 Publisher: Palgrave MacMillan OUR PRICE: $52.24 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: October 2004 Annotation: Given the current unrest in the Middle East, this book evaluates the ability of the European Union through enlargement to prevent a potential conflict developing between key actors in the near-eastern Mediterranean region; namely Greece, Turkey and Cyprus. Cyprus and the Cyprus issue will become increasingly important in the next few years given the completion of accession negotiations, and the signing of the Accession Treaty in April 2003 between Cyprus and the European Union. Therefore the book seeks to illuminate the limitations and constraints on the EU policy towards Cyprus, but also the potential "positive impact" that the EU might have on the Cyprus issue and east Mediterranean regional stability in the short, medium and long term, through inclusion of both Cyprus and Turkey as enlargement candidates. |

| Publisher Description: The European Union and Enlargement is about the EU's 'power of attraction' - an exploration of the potential for EU impact on conflicts within Europe - and the implications for the EU to influence the 'order' beyond its borders. It provides both a theoretical and historical context in order to understand the EU's impact and combines this with empirical analysis of the perceptions of the Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots and Turkey on the accession process and its effect on the Cyprus issue. It demonstrates the limits and the potential of the EU as a global actor through its power of attraction. |
