Abstract: Why does the European Union (EU) enlarge and why does it make certain prioritisations amongst applicants in the enlargement process? In this article, different reasons that have been used in mobilising for enlargement are examined. An analytical distinction is made between three different types of reasons: pragmatic, ethical-political and moral. The conclusion is that ethical-political reasons, which testify to a sense of kinship-based duty, are particularly important in mobilising for enlargement to incorporate central and eastern Europe and thus also central to an appreciation of prioritisations in the EU's enlargement policy. |
