Abstract

Czechoslovakia, and later the Czech Republic, has made its desire to join the European Union (EU) clear since the establishment of its constitution in 1990. Experts agree the country's success at creating a working democratic government and free market economy will make it eligible for EU membership by 2002. However, the European Union will not be capable of successfully expanding at that time. The EU must restructure its political and voting systems, as well as the Common Agricultural Policy, to allow for more participating members. While officials of the European Union agree these changes are necessary, very little has been done to accomplish them. Historically, changes within the EU have been slow. As these necessary changes are postponed it is apparent the Czech Republic will not be able to join the European Union in 2002.
