Eastern Enlargement: A Deathblow to Euro-Nationalism
Öz
The aim of attaining a common EU identity, which is vitally important for the
advancement and deepening of the EU has been discussed as a very significant issue
since the 1970s. In this discussion, one of the most widely supported approaches
considering the context of the common EU identity has been Euro-nationalism that
advocates an EU identity leans on common historical-cultural values. On the other
hand, the Union has tackled another significant issue since the early 1990s: The
accession process of Central and Eastern European Countries to the EU. Despite the
realisati on of the full membership of most of those countries, the impact of Eastern
Enlargeınent and the debates around it will continue for a long time. The article deals
with relation between these two issues that occupy a considerable place in the EU
agenda and reveals the (negative) impacts of Eastern Enlargeınent on Euronationalism, one of the most fervently supported approaches regarding the EU common
identity.
