Professor Brian Main, Director of The David Hume Institute said: "The aim of this series is to provide a forum for discussion for some of the recent research projects undertaken by the Economic & Social Research Council. To many, the recently agreed EU enlargement looks like a ‘done deal’ and the end of a chapter. But the differential treatment of newly admitted members under the Common Agricultural Policy, the remaining queue of potential entrants, and the looming governance challenges that face an enlarged EU, ensure that policy debate in this area will continue to be very much in the limelight for the foreseeable future. In the ‘One Europe or Several’ ESRC research programme, many of these aspects of policy have been studied in depth. This seminar will allow the co-ordinator of this programme to disseminate these important results. We are grateful to the ESRC (Economic & Social Research Council) for their sponsorship of this series"
