The European Union and Enlargement is about the EU's 'power of attraction' - an exploration of the potential for EU impact on conflicts within Europe - and the implications for the EU to influence the 'order' beyond its borders. It provides both a theoretical and historical context in order to understand the EU's impact and combines this with empirical analysis of the perceptions of the Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots and Turkey on the accession process and its effect on the Cyprus issue. It demonstrates the limits and the potential of the EU as a global actor through its power of attraction.

The movement toward regional integration is one of the more important features of international economic relations between developing nations during the past decade, and none has been more ambitious in the developing world than the attempt of the five countries of Central America to band together in the Central American Common Market (CACM). The CACM was a dominant force in Central American economic development throughout the decade of the 1960s, and sufficient data are now available to make preliminary judgments about the effects of economic integration upon the intra- and extraregional trade patterns of the isthmus.The model used in the ensuing analysis is similar to the one postulated by Savage and Deutsch (1960) and Goodman (1963: 197), and is a useful step in preliminary analysis of flow data such as trade flows among countries. The model does not seek to explain such flows, but rather to adjust them or remove the effect of the trade-size factor.
