About this book
Reviews
"The EU's big bang enlargement in 2004 was a major milestone in the history of European integration. Thanks to the carrots and sticks of conditionality the EU had enormous potential influence. In her detailed, meticulous and landmark study, focusing in particular on the single market and Schengen, Heather Grabbe demonstrates how and why the EU's 'transformative power' varied across the region, over time and from policy area to policy area." - Dr. Tim Haughton, University of Birmingham, UK "The EU's big bang enlargement in 2004 was a major milestone in the history of European integration.

It lends relevant insider insights into the process of enlargement and it is an obligatory guide for anyone interested in the present and the future of European enlargement." - Transitions Online "The EU's Transformative Power is in a position to offer a major reference point in the Europeanization discourse. Grabbe's book does indeed stand up to such promise and provides an authoritative resource on the effects of EU influence in CEE." - Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding
