“…Moreover, nowadays these concepts are treated much more as a solution than a problem. Nevertheless, DI, as a scholarly concept, is a relatively new phenomenon in European studies, and wider: international relations; legal studies; political science; and economics (Andersen, Sitter, 2006;Tekin, 2012;Kroll, Leuffen, 2015;Kubin, 2017). It grew alongside a real-life increase in differentiation (optouts, exemptions, enhanced cooperation, constructive abstention, special clauses, additional protocols, etc.).…”

Russia's attack on Ukraine is a watershed moment that forced the EU to confront its weaknesses and reshuffl e its priorities. In this context, the war brought back at the top of the EU's agenda the enlargement process. In light of these developments, the aim of this paper is to evaluate the impact of the war on the EU's enlargement process and to demonstrate that enlargement policy has acquired a greater geopolitical value than ever before. The paper begins with a historical overview of the challenges that have defi ned the enlargement process and have led to a deadlock, demonstrating that the war can provide impetus for the revival of the stagnant enlargement process. The discussion proceeds, in turn, to the pros and cons of further expansion of the EU. A pro-enlargement position is adopted, arguing that enlargement is a valuable tool for the transformation of the Union into a real geopolitical actor. Finally, the paper builds upon the previous analysis and proposes ways of adjusting the enlargement process to the new challenges created by the war. To conclude, the paper argues that Russia's aggression can reinvigorate the enlargement process, which in turn can strengthen the EU's role on the geopolitical chessboard. The stakes are too high and the EU cannot afford to lose the momentum.

The objective of this paper is to analyse the double-layered diversiﬁcation of the European integration system represented by the countries of Central Europe (CE). Here exempliﬁed by the Visegrad Four (V4) states (Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Czechia), the region offers a unique laboratory of European differentiated integration (DI). The V4 positions itself on the outer-core of the European Union hemispheres. At the same time, the bloc itself is internally diversiﬁed in various, important aspects of integration (conﬂicting trajectories with Brussels, monetary integration, energy policy, relations with Russia, etc.). Unpacking this intra-V4 diversity will be accompanied by an exploration of the economic and institutional factors possibly affecting it. The political-economy perspective allows us to capture the determinants intersecting at the crossroads of economic and political dimensions. The authors will explore the selected building blocks of the system of differentiation inside the V4 group.
