“…A number of studies regard the misfit between European and domestic institutional structures as a key catalyst for domestic change (Héritier et al 1996;Duina 1997). Others emphasize European leverage on changed opportunity structures and the potential reorganization of actor constellations at the national level (Marks & McAdam 1996;Harmsen & Wilson 2000;Schneider 2001). A third explanatory approach combines issues of institutional compatibility and modifications of domestic opportunity structures (Börzel & Risse 2000Cowles & Risse 2001;Knill 2001).…”

When analysing processes of domestic institutional and political change in Central and Eastern Europe, political scientists frequently refer to the concept of Europeanization. This article focuses the policy-analytical framework as one central Europeanization approach and addresses the question of whether this approach is applicable to explain domestic change beyond the core of EU member states. The policyanalytical approach systematically analyses the impact of different modes of EU governance on process and outcome of national institutional and policy change. The article demonstrates that in distinguishing the different potential of compliance, competition and communication to trigger domestic adjustments, the policy-analytical approach proves to be a useful tool for predicting domestic change in states outside the EU. It helps generate differentiated hypotheses about the potential impacts of EU policies in Central and Eastern European candidate countries that are likely to join the EU in the foreseeable future and in non-member states with only minimal or no accession prospects.

“…Arguably, the rise of the AFD is better explained in terms of French domestic variables (such as the MFA's failure to control its budget in 2002 (Meimon, 2007, p. 46)) and international factors (such as the rise of NPM theories, which had been espoused by the World Bank and were then brought back to France by Jean-Michel Severino, an outgoing World Bank Vice-President (1997-2000 and the incoming Head of the AFD (2001-10) (Interview with AFD, 2014). Ultimately too, the scale of France's institutional change has remained limited, with little 'convergence towards a common [European] institutional model' (Harmsen, 1999, p. 82), no closures of overseas missions in favour of the EU, and few changes to the SGCI, now relabelled the SGAE (Secrétariat général des affaires européennes), which continues to act as a centralising force, restricting the freedom of manoeuvre of France's permanent representation in Brussels (Rozenberg, 2011, p. 14).…”

“…One of these, on the nature of Europeanisation, has been widely rehearsed (e.g. Harmsen & Wilson, 2000) and need not be revisited here. Another, more central to this study, revolves around the challenges of disentangling the effect of Europeanisation -that is, 'the impact of the EU on its member states' domestic spheres' (Börzel & Risse, 2006, p. 485) -from that of domestic variables and internationalisation.…”

“…A lively debate rages as to how one should define Europeanisation, with different authors assigning the term different meanings that then undergo further differentiation when applied to different policy areas (Harmsen and Wilson, 2000; Featherstone, 2003; Dyson and Goetz, 2003; Olsen, 2001).…”

Europeanisation and Foreign and Security Policy – Undermining or Rescuing the Nation State?

The article aims to explore the utility of Europeanisation as a concept to grasp the interactions between national and European levels. The article illustrates how the EU impacts on the national level of policy, polity and the politics of Member States and assesses how the role of nation states within the European political system has changed as a result. First, the existing definitions of Europeanisation are critically assessed, contextualised and delimited. Initially developed for communitised policy areas in the first pillar, Europeanisation is defined as an interactive, ongoing and mutually constitutive process of ‘Europeanising’ and ‘Europeanised’ countries, linking national and European levels. Defining Europeanisation as ‘domestic change’, the article then discusses mechanisms, objects and forms, as well as the criteria and conditions of change. The article subsequently seeks to clarify the validity of the Europeanisation concept in capturing the increasing interwovenness of national and European spheres in intergovernmental policy fields situated in the second pillar of the EU, that is, foreign and security policy. Inherent methodological challenges, mainly due to the deficient delimitation of Europeanisation and the intergovernmental character of this policy field are discussed as well as the particularities of its applicability in this unique policy area.
