Enlargement policy

Enlargement policy refers to the process by which an organization, particularly the European Union (EU), expands its membership by allowing new countries to join. This policy aims to promote stability, democracy, and economic development in neighboring regions. Countries seeking membership must meet specific criteria, including respecting human rights and the rule of law. Through this policy, the EU aims to foster cooperation and integration, creating a larger, unified area that enhances trade, security, and cultural exchange among its members. Successful enlargement can lead to stronger political and economic ties within the region.
