Title: Doorkeepers and Gatecrashers: EU Enlargement and Negotiation Strategies
Author: Brucker, Herbert

Appeared in: Journal of european integration
Paging: Volume 26 (2004) nr. 1 pages 3-23
Year: 2004-03
Contents: This paper discusses the eastward enlargement process of the EU in the framework of a simple 'war of attrition' bargaining game. Both players - the existing EU members and the applicants - benefit from enlargement, yet for the applicants, reform to the acquis is costly, while the EU prefers substantially reformed candidates. A waiting game unfolds. Within this framework the present enlargement round is ­analysed and policy results are deduced. For example, it is shown that delegating the evaluation of applicants to a third party, compensating applicants for their reform efforts or increasing the benefits for new members are all effective negotiation strategies for the EU that have been applied in the process.
