Özet

Bu çalışmada, AB’nin beşinci genişleme sürecine odaklanılarak, mevcut üyelerin ve adayların müzakere sürecinde hangi ekonomik ve siyasi faktörlere önem verdikleri incelenmektedir. Beşinci genişlemede, Merkezi ve Doğu Avrupalı adaylar, ekonomik ve siyasi olarak oldukça farklı bir sistemden geldikleri için bir anlamda geri olarak tanımlandılar. Mevcut üyeler, adayların şarta bağlılık kuralları çerçevesinde, derin bir dönüşüm sürecinden geçmesini beklediler; bu dönüşümün arz yönü maliyetini de minimum düzeyde tutmaya çalıştılar. Üyelik süreci içerisinde adayların işleyen bir piyasa ekonomisine ve demokrasiye geçmek için yapmaları gerekenler; genişlemenin mevcut üyeler ve adaylar için muhtemel ekonomik ve siyasi etkileri mümkün olduğunca detaylı bir şekilde değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, eski üyelere muhtemel göç dalgası, istihdam yapısına olası etkiler, ekonomik yakınsama süreleri, rekabetçilik; adaylardaki iç politik yapı, demokratikleşme, hukukun üstünlüğü, azınlıklar; sınır sorunları, devlet kapasitesinin arttırılması gibi konular değerlendirmelerde önemli başlıklar olarak yer almıştır.
