From Migration Fears to Missed Opportunities: The Cost of Politicising EU Enlargement

ELIAMEP - Thu, 03/27/2025 - 14:45

The policy brief From Migration Fears to Missed Opportunities: The Cost of Politicising EU Enlargement follows upon the results of the report The Rise of Radical Right and Eurosceptic Political Forces and the Impact on the EU’s Enlargement Policy.” It is part of the think nea – New Narratives of EU Integration initiative, led by ELIAMEP’s South-East Europe Programme and supported by the Open Society Foundations – Western Balkans.

As debates over EU enlargement intensify, migration has become a focal point for radical right and Eurosceptic parties across Europe. This brief by Ioannis Armakolas (Director, think nea – New Narratives of EU Integration) and Ioannis Alexandris (Research Associate, think nea – New Narratives of EU Integration) explores how these political forces frame enlargement as a migration risk, shaping public discourse and influencing policy decisions. The brief highlights how migration concerns are linked to fears over cultural identity, security, and economic stability, influencing public perception and national policies.

The analysis also examines the broader political landscape, including how national governments respond to these pressures and the role of public referenda in shaping enlargement outcomes. Drawing lessons from past accessions, the brief underscores the economic and strategic benefits of integration while cautioning against the long-term costs of stagnation. Offering concrete policy recommendations, the paper advocates for a proactive communication strategy that counters misinformation, highlights the economic advantages of enlargement, and reengages public opinion with a fact-based narrative.

Bedeutung nationaler öffentlicher Bankinstitute für Wachstum und Stabilität innerhalb der EU – Fallstudie Polen [Promoted content]

Euractiv.de - Thu, 03/27/2025 - 12:00
Wirtschaftliche Entwicklung und Wohlstand sind keineswegs nur das Ergebnis freier Märkte bzw. unternehmerischer Initiativen. Bei der Umwandlung Polens von einer postkommunistischen Planwirtschaft in eine dynamische, moderne Marktwirtschaft spielte die institutionelle Architektur des Landes eine entscheidende Rolle. Entscheidend für diesen Wandel war die Entwicklung von Finanzinstitutionen, die in der Lage sind, EU-Mittel effektiv zu verwalten. Mit ihrer Funktion als Schnittstelle zwischen Regierung und Finanzmärkten spielt Polens staatliche Entwicklungsbank Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK) eine zentrale Rolle bei der Verknüpfung von Regierungspolitik, EU-Mitteln und privatwirtschaftlichen Finanzierungen, um das Wachstum des Landes voranzutreiben.

Le rôle des institutions bancaires publiques nationales dans la croissance et la stabilité de l’UE – le cas de la Pologne

Euractiv.fr - Thu, 03/27/2025 - 12:00
Le développement économique et la prospérité ne sont pas uniquement le produit de marchés libres ou d’initiatives entrepreneuriales. La transformation de la Pologne d’une économie post-communiste en une économie de marché dynamique et moderne a été profondément influencée par son architecture institutionnelle. Un pilier essentiel de cette transformation a été le développement d’institutions financières capables de gérer efficacement les fonds de l’UE. En tant qu’interface entre le gouvernement et les marchés financiers, la Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK), la banque de développement de l’État polonais, a joué un rôle central en faisant le lien entre les politiques gouvernementales, les fonds de l’UE et les financements du secteur privé pour stimuler la croissance du pays.
