"This book provides a guide to the range of interests in British and German enlargement policies. It analyses the shifts in both countries' policies on enlargement since 1989, in the context of their differing strategies for developing the EU. It examines in detail their economic involvement in central and eastern Europe, contrasting the major German role in regional trade and investment with the comparatively minor British one. There is a complex equation of tensions and synergies between the two countries' approaches to adapting regional aid and the common agricultural policy for enlargement. The authors consider where Germany and Britain might cooperate in reforming the EU's budget, policies and institutions, and where conflict between their approaches will shape the politics of enlargement."--BOOK JACKET.
