Abstract: Abstract Accession to the EU is by no means the only mechanism for economically integrating with Europe. As Emerson (1998) notes, there exist various formal arrangements that are less comprehensive than EU membership, including customs union (Turkey), partnership and cooperation agreements (Russia, Ukraine and Moldova) and the Barcelona process, which will eventually lead to free trade with the EU (Mediterranean countries). Furthermore there are multilateral initiatives without a core, such as the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). Whether such alternatives are adequate substitutes, highly imperfect substitutes or vehicles for accession will not be addressed in this chapter. Instead, given the fairly widespread perception – particularly in countries interested in closer involvement – that EU accession is a superior vehicle for integration, it makes sense to focus on accession effects.
