Abstract

[fre] Le sujet de cet article porte sur l'investigation des avantages et des coûts de l'adhésion des pays de l'Europe de l'Est à l'Union européenne et des contraintes politiques qui résultent de cette analyse coûts-bénéfices. Le principal message est que si les auteurs croient que l'adhésion sera salutaire pour l'Union élargie, dans son ensemble, certains pays y gagneront évidemment plus que d'autres. Ce sera en partie parce qu'ils maximiseront mieux que d'autres les avantages découlant du budget de l'Union, mais aussi parce que les avantages économiques per se ne seront pas distribués de manière égale entre tous les États membres ainsi qu'au sein des différents groupes de population... La première partie résume les avantages économiques du processus d'adhésion et est suivie par une mise en évidence rapide des coûts. La troisième partie observe les aspects d'économie politique de mise en oeuvre et souligne les domaines qui posent problème. . Classification JEL : F2, F36, P33 Le principal message est que si les auteurs croient que l'adhésion sera salutaire pour l'Union élargie, dans son ensemble, certains pays y gagneront évidemment plus que d'autres.

Classification JEL " F2, F36, P33 [eng] A cost benefit analysis of EU accession with special emphasis of the political economy aspects of their distribution . The subject matter of this paper is to investigate the benefits and costs of the accession of Eastern European countries into the EU and the political constraints that arise from this cost benefit analysis. The main message is that while the authors do believe that the accession will be beneficial for the enlarged union as a whole there will be obviously groups that will gain more than others. This will be partly because some groups will be more successful in maximising their benefits from the EU budget than others but also because the economic benefits per se will not be equally distributed across all member states and population groups. The first part summarises the economic benefits of the accession process and is followed by a quick look at the costs. The third part looks at political economy aspects of the implementation and points out problem areas. . JEL classifications : F2, F36, P33 summarises the economic benefits of the accession process and is followed by a quick look at the costs. The third part looks at political economy aspects of the implementation and points out problem areas. . JEL classifications : F2, F36, P33
