"The volume sets itself apart from the previous historiographical literature on EU / EU enlargement..." - Henning Türk, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-University Bonn. Book Review in: H-Soz-Kult, 11.03.2019."Taken together, the 11 chapters of the book demonstrate how going beyond established chronologies and themes can fruitfully enhance our understanding of enlargement and feed into a research agenda for future studies. Arguably, the volume’s added value can be seen in building bridges to research (communities) outside the confines of EU history." - Brigitte Leucht, University of Portsmouth, UK, Book Review in European History Quarterly, 49(2), 324–326, 2019. "Taken together, the 11 chapters of the book demonstrate how going beyond established chronologies and themes can fruitfully enhance our understanding of enlargement and feed into a research agenda for future studies...This is a carefully edited book highlighting links between different chapters.Cohesion is further supported by a first evaluation of the new research agenda in the form of Piers Ludlow’s concluding chapter."Brigitte Leucht, University of Portsmouth, UK
