歐體當初被設計成為一個具有彈性及動力的組織，它只是一個開端，而並非為終極目標，所以從一九五七年至今，會員國由原創始的六個國家，擴增至今日之十五國，其創造之經濟及政治成就，不僅使歐洲從戰後的頹敗，變為今日之繁榮、先進，且由於歐洲國家之結合，而使其在國際舞台上之份量愈形吃重。而此等成就亦吸引同為歐洲國家，只是在過去五十年來一直實行共產主義的中、東歐國家希望加入。

在一九九○年代之前，有關於歐體成員國擴增的討論，僅僅止於有關於南歐或北歐國家加入的問題。但隨著以蘇聯為首的中、東歐共產集團的瓦解，一些有關歐盟未來發展的型式、範圍、整合速度以及歐盟現有成員國對於廣化之可欲性等，在近年來一一浮上檯面。本論文之主要研究目的即是在藉由對歐體歷次廣化經驗之研究及解析，瞭解歐體在每次擴大的過程中所遭遇之各項難題，並且瞭解歐體各成員國對於廣化所持之態度，以評估未來中、東歐國家加入歐盟的可行性，同時，亦瞭解歐盟在未來廣化成功之後，整個歐盟在機構及政策上，所將要面臨的改變與調整。
