Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, EU enlargement has regained prominence on the EU agenda. I examine the politicisation of enlargement and arguments for and against enlargement in two debates in the European parliament conducted in November 2023.

Mobility as a European political battleground. Issues and actors in the revision of the posting of workers directive
After having been set aside as an unattainable goal during the years of the Barroso II Commission, the reform of the Posting of Workers Directive (PWD) was brought back to centre stage by the political guidelines outlined by President Juncker in his speech of July 15, 2014, in front of the European Parliament.

Napovedovanje glasovanj strank v Evropskem parlamentu
Evropski parlament je politično telo, ki že dolgo časa razdvaja javnost. Njegovi nasprotniki po eni strani trdijo, da je tako politično in kulturno heterogen organ nezmožen učinkovitega delovanja, po drugi strani pa naj bi evropski poslanci hitro izgubili stik s svojimi volivci ter glasovali predvsem tako, kot jim to naročijo vodje skupin. Zanimalo...
Mobilitetspaketet i Europaparlamentet: sammanhållning och splittring mellan medlemsstater och partigrupper
