The Process And The Influence Of The Fourth Enlargement Of European Union

European Union bears unique structure and complicated decision-making mechanism and self-contained jurisprudence. European Union is a Multivariable Community which is difficult to ascertain its identity possessed very strong super-national characteristics with its position beyond confederacy but under federation and its developing direction full of variables cannot be reversed which is controlled by its member states.It lacks in antagonism of conflict of interests or historical carry-over issues between European Union and China. It is provided with very strong mutual complementary in economy. They take on common strategic interests in boosting world multi-polarization. Full co-operational fellowship of European Union and China will develop more and deepen further in the future years.With the realization of three enlargements of European Community in cold war years, it comes into being a suit of legal proceedings and criterion of enlargement. It offers profound lessons and accumulates abundant experiences as well. It turned to be a main contradiction in the development of European Community in deepening or enlarging. The contradiction was an everlasting harassment as well as impetus of European Community.The world-shaking change of European international relationship situation in post-cold war years brings historical opportunity to European Community. In the meantime European Community faced with grim challenges of enlargement, deepening and reformation. As one of the responses to the challenges, the realization of the fourth enlargement of European Community / European Union is of significant bearings. It symbols an important turnaround of European international political structure.As a result of grave dependence upon European Community market, Austria adjusts her fence- sitting policy rapidly then choose collective security policy over again in order to obtain au pair right of decision-making with European Communitymembers to vindicate interests of itself. Due to the rising position of synthesis security in national security policy after cold-war, the decision of entering EU is welcomed by most Austrians."Sweden Pattern" had resulted economic depression with high currency expansion, high deficit and high debt in the past decades. Owing to Sweden economical increase depend on EU market more and more after cold war, Sweden government abandoned peace and fence-sitting policy quietly led by the elites of politics and business. And then Sweden melted into EU.Fenland had experienced currency devaluation and economic depression on account of Fenland economy strictly tied to Russian energy sources and market after the collapse of Soviet Union in post-cold war era. Sustained economical development of Fenland increasingly depends on EC market. With the decline of Russia, Fenland government regulates fence-sitting policy swiftly to join EU without scruple.The EU fourth enlargement has a characteristic of swifter and more intricate than the former enlargements. Although the status of EU and three wealth developed fence-sitting states in entering negotiations is relatively dissymmetry, the final outcome is two-win co-operation. It leads to the grandness of EU strength and the enhancement of EU attraction. Consequently the road of further enlargement faced to east and middle European countries is smoothed.It indicates that the setup of EU as the core and representative of European Integration is further established with the realization of the EU fourth enlargement, and enhances the characteristic of EU open free trade. The three fence-sitting countries which had been the dividing line of confrontation of two big blocs in cold war years joined EU that symbolized EU having got across the dividing line of cold war spheres. It indicates EU having prepared to fill up the vacuum left behind by Soviet Union in east and middle European after its falling apart. It also makes a great change in favor of EU in European geopolitical territory and European international structure that will pave up the smooth road for EU eastern enlargement.The increase of member states of EU make it reached the "threshold of enlargement" when the EU fourth enlargement has been realized. So the reform of EUmechanism is inevitable. The trend of differentiation within EU becomes more evident than before too. The divergence in advancing direction of future EU will broaden increasingly. As the EU tends towards unification more and more, so many official languages are more difficult to unify as a common used language. Therefore national languages give more prominence to national consciousness than ever, it turns over to impact on the development of European integration.EU social and environmental policies will get ahead significantly after Austria and Sweden and Fenland join the EU because of their advanced social and environmental policies. They take active part in the world affairs such as armament controls and bilateral trust establishments and the third world aids. They look upon United Nations as a suitable framework of conflict controls, support of law of nations and improvement of human rights. The three small nations joining EU foreign affairs help to lend strengths from each other with EU in order to exalt good international influence and prestige to the both.EC/EU had been experienced a formidable course in the past decades from smallness to bigness, from feebleness to mightiness, from superficiality to profundity, and from economical integration to whole integration. The very important significance embodies nor only in practice but also in theory all over the world. European Union is the oldest, the most perfect, the most representational, the most energetic, the most extensive, the most effective and the most mature one integration organization in the world. EU represents the trend of international stipulation relationship, even indicates the direction of world future development in some sense. It is deserved earnest investigation and discussion taking on its important meanings in practice and in theory in world history.
