Expanding Horizons: Lessons and Geopolitics of EU Enlargement with Prof. Veronica Anghel

Expanding Horizons: Lessons and Geopolitics of EU Enlargement with Prof. Veronica Anghel

In this episode of The European Dialogue, we explore one of the most pressing issues in European politics today - EU enlargement. What does it mean? Why does it matter? And why is this conversation more urgent than ever? This podcast is part of The European Dialogue podcast series. You can listen to this on Spotify, Youtube or Soundcloud. Links Below. Emily Jones is joined by Professor Veronica Anghel, an expert in comparative politics and international relations, to unpack the geopolitics of EU expansion. As an assistant professor at the Robert Schuman Centre and co-lead of the EU Enlargement Hub, Veronica shares insights from her research on European integration, democracy, and transatlantic relations. Key Topics Covered: ✅ The EU’s enlargement as a tool for peace and stability ✅ How Russia’s influence shapes the future of Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia ✅ The balance between security concerns and democratic reforms ✅ The potential impact of the Trump administration on EU policy ✅ How academics, policymakers & civil society can strengthen EU resilience This conversation was recorded a few weeks before the U.S. administration transition in January 2025, but its themes remain highly relevant amidst today’s fast-changing global politics! Finally, we also reference two of Veronica Anghel’s most relevant and recent articles with Erik Jones, which we highly recommend for more on EU Enlargement: 📖 ANGHEL, Veronica; JONES, Erik (2024) – Three Lessons from the 2004 'Big Bang' Enlargement: https://www.cogitatiopress.com/politicsandgovernance/article/view/8358 📖 ANGHEL, Veronica; JONES, Erik (2024) – The Geopolitics of EU Enlargement: From Club to Commons: https://cadmus.eui.eu/handle/1814/77098 🔔 Stay Updated with EU-VALUES.
