Summary Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine has given new momentum to EU enlargement. Ukraine and Moldova have started accession negotiations, and EU leaders regularly refer to enlargement as a geopolitical necessity. The enlargement process is pushing the EU to think creatively about how to work more closely with candidate countries before accession. The Union is increasingly embracing the notion of phased enlargement. In parallel, the EU is exploring new ways of deepening defence and security co-operation with candidate countries. This paper considers how enlargement could affect the EU-UK relationship. Specifically, it focuses on how the EU’s embrace of phased enlargement may lead it to develop models of association for countries that do not want to become full members, or that cannot do so.
