The publication “The rise of radical right and Eurosceptic political forces and the impact on the EU’s enlargement policy” is a result of the initiative think nea – New Narratives of EU Integration, funded by the Open Society Foundations – Western Balkans.
This policy brief which was prepared in collaboration with the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Dialogue Southeast Europe presents the core findings and strategic recommendations of the full report. It is intended to provide the audience with a concise, accessible overview of the key insights and proposed actions.
With war raging on the European Union’s eastern border and the bloc seeking to redefine its geopolitical identity, another political transformation is unfolding within: the growing influence of radical right and Eurosceptic parties. Once largely marginalised actors, these forces are now increasingly reshaping Europe’s political priorities from within national parliaments and Brussels. This report takes stock of the growing influence of radical right and Eurosceptic political forces within the EU and examines the implications for EU enlargement policy.
In additional to the brief, a factsheet of the report was prepared in order to provide a condensed outline on how the growing influence of radical right and Eurosceptic parties is reshaping EU politics and what this means for the future of EU enlargement.
