TAILIEUCHUNG - Conflict, Negotiation and European Union Enlargement

The enlargement of the European Community (EC) and later the European Union (EU) was never particularly Indeed, the first attempt at widening the EU culminated in the Community’s “first real crisis” when Charles de Gaulle, then-President of France, rejected the British accession in a dramatic press conference at the E´ lyse´e Palace (Nicholson and East 1987, 39). He claimed that Britain’s conditions for joining the Union were unacceptable to France. In addition to fearing that a rise in Atlanticism would undermine French dominance in Europe, de Gaulle was particularly concerned about the impact British membership would have on the Common Agricultural Policies (CAP) | Conflict Negotiation and European union Enlargement CHRISTINA .

Existing members fear their membership privileges will diminish and candidates are loath to concede the expected benefits of membership. Despite these conflicts enlargement has always succeeded -so why does the EU continue to admit new states even though current members might lose from their accession Combining political economy logic with statistical and case study analyses Christina J. Schneider argues that the dominant theories of EU enlargement ignore how EU members and applicant states negotiate the distribution of enlargement benefits and costs. She explains that EU enlargement happens despite distributional conflicts if the overall gains of enlargement are redistributed from the relative winners among existing members and applicants to the relative losers. If the overall gains from enlargement are sufficiently great a redistribution of these gains will compensate losers making enlargement attractive for all states. CHRISTINA J.
