This article considers the issue of political and economic divergence which has emerged in Eastern Europe between the Central and Eastern European (CEE) and Baltic countries on one hand and the Western Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries (Belarus, Moldova, Russia, and Ukraine) on the other. Particular attention is devoted to the questions of whether and to what extentEuropean Union (EU) enlargement deepens the divergence and whether developments in the various arenas are mutually reinforcing or mitigating. Thekey argument is that divergence may be less severe and less permanent than is often assumed. The Western CIS countries have the potential to 'catch up' with economic and political development in CEE and the Baltic states. This is most obviously true for Ukraine, which took a recent and decisive step towardsgreater democratization after having recovered from its severe transition recession in the last few years. Among the other three countries, Belarus appears as another eventual candidate for change, given its geographical proximity to Central and Eastern Europe and its relatively strongeconomic base - even though it is currently the most autocratic of the group. For Moldova, the key problems of economic weakness and a very weak state affected by quasi-secession make it more difficult to overcome the divide with the CEE countries; however, it has a considerable degree of political pluralism. Russia is relatively the most 'protected' from the diffusion of democracy and a rule-governed economy by its resource wealth and greater geographical distance. EU enlargement and the discussion about the borders of Europe (or rather, of the EU) gives the issue of divergence important policy relevance. So far, the EU has paid far greater attention to South-east Europe than to the Western CIS (with the partial exception of Russia). The EU's inattention has probably contributed to losing the initial 'democratic momentum' in its new Eastern neighbours. However, renewed attemptsat democratization are likely to occur and are already occurring in Ukraine; and the EU could have a positive impact on advancing this if it provides greater engagement and a clearer policy
