International Area Studies Review, 2004, vol. 7, issue 1, 19-35

Abstract: The growing number of small states is one of the sui generis characteristics of a future enlarged EU. A wealth of research has been undertaken to analyse the likely effect of candidate states on future enlargement. Most of this has concentrated on large candidate countries, particularly the evaluation of their immediate financial impact on the EU. This paper purports to examine some of the economic effects which small candidate states would have on the enlarged EU with particular reference to its trade policy. Analysis is made of the characteristics of small candidates to shed light on their likely positions and behaviour patterns and, consequently, their effect on the future direction of EU economic policy.
