Strategjia e re e Bashkimit Evropian për zgjerimin
The European Union's new strategy for enlargement

Summary/Abstract: This essay explores the need for a new strategy through which the European Union should approach its process of expansion, especially after the French and Dutch referenda. This is an important moment that directly affects the membership efforts of the countries in the Western Balkans. The main argument that this article puts forth is that the EU needs a new expansion strategy, more in tune with the new internal and external realities that it faces. To this end a number of creative reforms should be undertaken so as to rekindle the enthusiasm with regard to the European project. This is a major challenge especially today when the agreement for a new European Constitution has failed.
