项目摘要

The purpose of this research project was to demonstrate the enlargement "effect" of the European Union after the Cold War. One can say that the history of the European Union is, in a sense, its history of enlargement and the "deepening" and the "widening" processes of the EU have developed mutually. Particularly after the end of the Cold War, the EU has intensified its internal integration process and, at the same time, the applicant countries and the EU itself, pinned their hopes on the enlargement of the EU, believing that might bring both military security and economic prosperity to the European continent. The enlargement of the EFTA countries in 1995 and of the CEEC (Central and Eastern European countries) in 2004 has proved that such an enlargement "effect" can be recognized. Moreover, the enlargement "effect" can be observed in preventing minority problems among the CEEC. However in the case of the North-South Cyprus problem, only South Cyprus has become a member-state of the EU and the Cyprus problem rmains unresolved, which illustrates that the enlargement of the EU is not a panacea for all regional conflicts. Nontheless, the membership process of Cyprus has reopened the North-South dialogue of Cyprus and has changed the Turkish position toward this issue. So, one can say that some kind of enlargement "effect" can also be seen in the case of the Cyprus problem. Concerning the Turkish membership application, the negociations have now been open since October 2005, and the Turkish government has tried many internal reforms. We can also observe here some kind of enlargement "effect" in Turkey. Consequently, it is demonstrated that the enlargement of the EU has a positive "effect" which brings prospectd for peace and prosperity to the European continent.

该研究项目的目的是展示冷战后欧盟的扩张“效应”。可以说，欧盟的历史从某种意义上来说就是其扩大的历史，欧盟的“深化”和“扩大”进程是相互发展的。特别是冷战结束后，欧盟内部一体化进程不断加强，同时申请国和欧盟本身都把希望寄托在欧盟东扩上，认为这既能带来军事安全，也能带来军事安全。欧洲大陆的经济繁荣。 1995年欧洲自由贸易联盟国家的东扩和2004年中东欧国家的东扩已经证明这种东扩“效应”是可以被认可的。此外，中东欧国家在防止少数民族问题方面也可以看到扩大“效应”。但在塞浦路斯南北问题上，只有南塞成为欧盟成员国，塞浦路斯问题仍未得到解决，这说明欧盟东扩并不是解决所有地区冲突的灵丹妙药。尽管如此，塞浦路斯的入盟进程重新开启了塞浦路斯的南北对话，并改变了土耳其对此问题的立场。因此，可以说，在塞浦路斯问题上也能看到某种扩大“效应”。关于土耳其的入盟申请，自2005年10月起谈判已开始，土耳其政府也尝试了多项内部改革。我们在这里还可以观察到土耳其的某种扩张“效应”。由此可见，欧盟的东扩具有积极的“效应”，为欧洲大陆带来和平与繁荣的前景。
