Summary/Abstract: This paper will focus on the second category of enlargement studies. On the one hand, this research aims at testing socio-constructivism on the case of Eastern enlargement. On the other hand, this paper takes into consideration the certain preference for socio-constructivism as a theoretical framework for explaining the last round of enlargement of the European Union and tries to explain the appeal socio-constructivism has exerted on the researchers on enlargement.
