Negotiating with the European Union. Volume II, The initial position papers for chapters of negotiation

The volume intends to present a primary source of analy­sis of the official, initial position of Romania in the process of negotiating ac­cession, as they were put forward in 2000-2002. We state that, in a compara­tive analysis, the European and international evolutions with significant im­pact over Romania's European politics options may be added. What becomes evident after reading this volume is not only the complexity of the negotiation process, in the sense of the necessity to coordinate internal preparation ef­forts, but also the necessity of a permanent analysis of the accession negotia­tions from the internal, European and international perspectives.
