context_page_description: Greater Europe refers to the idea of an extended Europe. This generally implies a Europe which transcends traditional geographic boundaries to include trans-Eurasian countries, or countries in close proximity to continental Europe with strong political, economic, or cultural links to Europe.
context_section_description: The concept of Greater Europe may specifically deal with the current enlargement agenda or the potential future enlargement of the European Union.
  It may also reference a more "re-unified" Europe following the fall of the Iron Curtain, the intensification of European integration, the potential establishment of a Federal Europe, or to the concept of the Eurosphere and of Europe's increasing global influence. 
  Other definitions of Greater Europe may include all European states and CIS countries; or all European states and the Post-Soviet states of the Eurasian Economic Union; theoretically stretching from Lisbon to Vladivostok.
