Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 10 page paper discussing Switzerland's reluctance to join the EU. Switzerland may not always remain outside the EU. There appears to be little reason now not to join its European neighbors, now that the EU has been in place for nearly two full years. Before the EU actually took shape and became a formal entity with real member states, there was uncertainty between what was envisioned and what would actually be. Now that the Swiss people have had two years to observe the EC in action, they may be less reluctant to join. Voters in any upcoming referenda likely will be more concerned about preserving Switzerland's tradition of official neutrality. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

to more greatly effect the Germany economy. As the time neared for deadlines of assessing national economies for the first wave of membership in the EMU, Germany was in
danger of missing the first wave. All of Europe improved in those years of 1997 and 1998, and all of Europes leading economies opting into the union were able
to join in the first wave in 1999. The Vision What the European leaders envisioned
