Problem Statement to the Dynamics between geographical and maybe cultural peripheries of the European Continent

Summary/Abstract: But where is the future of Eastern Europe within the European Union? Are these “developing countries” missing their chance of bringing their so desired contribution to the European Union? The potential role of the Eastern countries in the European Union has received very considerable attention in the past, both from the critical perspective of policy makers and from those concentrated on economic development research. Yet, it is still the case that very little is known about the impact of the European Union on these countries and the negative impact it had on their potential for development. We can not deny the major part played by the European Union in the development of the new countries, but we wish to investigate the degree of problems imported from the West into the East. It might be hypothesized that the lack of proper cultural security from the part of the Eastern countries might have damaged their economic development, being exposed to western trends which were dangerous in many different kinds.
