The ironies of enlargement

Commentary by Fabrizio Tassinari in the Washington Post's PostGlobal

In this commentary, published in the Washington Post's PostGlobal, DIIS Senior Researcher Fabrizio Tassinari argues that five years after the momentous expansion of the EU towards ten new member states, the EU enlargement has turned into an unforgiving mirror of the European paralysis.

The commentary was written in conjunction with the author's recent visits to Belgrade and Istanbul, where he spoke at a round table co-sponsored by the Bertelsmann Foundation and the German Marshall Fund.
