Summary/Abstract: After May 1st 2004, when ten new members joined, the EU has become larger, poorer and more diverse. It constitutes a more important market and will soon become a bigger zone of passport-free travel with a single currency for nearly half a billion people. But beyond these basic facts, little is certain. The long-term political and economic impact of EU expansion are largely unknown. The article looks at two key effects of the 2004 enlargement on the EU: on its political dynamics, and on its role in the world.
