This edited volume brings together a diverse array of critical perspectives in the analysis of EU enlargement. The novelty of these studies is in their multifaceted and nuanced explanations of EU enlargement as a particular form of empire building. Each author demonstrates this process by examining the cultural, political, and economic practices, both within and beyond Europe, that constitute this form of empire. %K Postcolonial theory, Europäische Union, Erweiterung, Osteuropa, Aufsatzsammlung, Eastern Europe, Europe, European Union, Poststructuralism %G English
