EU Enlargement – Between Conditionality, Progress, and Enlargement Fatigue

In 2014, the Aspen Institute Germany held three sub-cabinet level meetings in Alt Madlitz and Berlin with high-level decision-makers and experts from the Western Balkan countries, Germany, the EU, the United States, and Turkey. During these meetings, discussions centered around two key elements of the EU enlargement process: economic development and the rule of law. This edited volume contains conference papers and proceedings of the meetings, gives an overview of the topics discussed, and presents policy recommendations.
