The Dynamics of Economic Integration and Cohesion in the EU: Experience from the Past and Challenges for the Future

Willem Molle

Chapter 8 in Spatial Dynamics of European Integration, 1999, pp 145-162 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In the past the European Union has shown a remarkable dynamism. This is first reflected in indicators of market and policy integration (deepening of the process). It is next reflected in the increased number of countries that have become members of the EU (widening of the process). It is likely that this dynamism of the past will be continued in the future. There are certainly new challenges ahead. In matters of deepening, these include the successful implementation of the Economic and Monetary Union. In matters of widening, there is the task of the integration of the Central and Eastern European countries.
