      abstract = {This edited volume analyses the ways in which EU  membership contributed to the convergence process of member  countries in the Baltics, Central-Eastern and South-Eastern  Europe, and also explores countries that are candidates for  future EU membership. Importantly, EU membership stands to  benefit member states and speed up convergence to the  global frontier through several channels. These channels  include trade, investment, finance, labour, and laws and  institutions. Convergence has also taken place at a global  level and the speed of convergence of significant groups of  low- and medium-income countries has never been as fast  globally as it is today. This volume explores whether EU  Member States from the region are converging faster as a  result of their EU membership. Global integration has  certainly played an important role. Industries have seen  the creation of global value chains, which have championed  trends also inside the EU. A large part of FDI flows and  financial integration in the world have been persistent  features of globalization. Have these countries experienced  more intensive integration through these channels because  of EU membership, with its much tighter institutional and  political anchorage, than their fundamentals and global  trends would suggest?},
