This is a selection of the author's studies on development
trends in the European Union and on Hungary's preparations
for Union membership. All the papers were written in 1996 and
1997 and have been published, some in Hungary and some
abroad. They provide an analysis of several aeras that can be
expected to be central to the official accession negotiations due
to begin in the spring of 1998. The author argues that Eastern
enlargement is not only a priority interest for Hungary, but a
substantial advantage to the present member-countries.
The book can be heartily recommended not only to experts
on theoretical and practical aspects of the European integration
process and Eastern enlargement, but to all readers interested
in European issues and in Hungary's integration policies and
opportunities. Vissza
