The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Iceland, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey are all Candidate Countries for the European Union. What is the process of membership? What are the security implications for Enlargement? Given the recent developments in Lampedusa and other southern countries, how will EU Enlargement impact migration flows and routes? Legally, how will Enlargement affect countries’ judicial systems? How will Enlargement affect the economy of the EU? What role does the Neighbourhood Policy play in Enlargement?
The University of Kent Brussels School of International Studies aims to discuss some of the questions above through our 2014 International Conference High Hopes High Fears: How EU Enlargement is the most controversial contemporary policy issue. Speakers from various European Union institutions, private businesses, Non-Governmental Organizations, Think Thanks, International Organizations and members from the Academic community will come together to discuss how EU Enlargement will affect Security, Migration, Law and the future Economy of the EU and greater neighbourhood community.
