Abstract

The Treaty of Maastricht must be considered as a political compromise in the process of European Integration. Integration plainly does not mean wider Union, but a Union which share closer ties with each other. This article analyses countries which benefited economically, while some other benefited politically. This article also focuses the political dominance of certain member states which were integral in keeping the application of Turkey on hold for long time. This article also puts light on the changes made in the Treaty of Maastricht so that integration of Central and Eastern European Countries would be easier.

Author Biography

Shravan G Shenoy, Manipal University

Shravan Shenoy is a student of Masters in European Studies and Management (MESM) at Manipal University, India. He is studying MESM offered by the Manipal Centre for European Studies established in partnership with Hochschule Bremen University of Applied Sciences, Germany. Though his graduation was in Engineering in Electronics and Communications, he has discovered his new interest in European integrational studies after taking up MESM. He has a flare for writing since childhood and has slowly moved from writing short-stories to academic writing. He plans to pursue his interest in integrational studies with a focus on comparative study of businesses, cultures, and politics of both India and European Union. He conceived and led a team of students in organizing Festivities of Indian and European Synergies in Tradition and Arts (FIESTA) bringing music, dance, theatre and other forms of arts on a single platform.
