EU enlargement has traditionally been conceptualised as a polity-making policy (Sjursen, 2012), underscoring its identitarian dimension within the European community. Arguments grounded in belonging, familiarity, and othering—frequently examined through a constructivist lens—remain central to the integration of candidate countries and constitute key determinants of public and political support for enlargement. These dynamics are closely linked to the emotional underpinnings of enlargement debates and manifest in discursive constructions within the public sphere. This panel brings together contributions that examine identity transformations and discursive patterns shaping contemporary debates on enlargement, particularly in the context of escalating geopolitical tensions.
