Rethinking The Impact of Europe: The Political Sociology of Europeanization
The aim of this panel proposal is mainly twofold: problematizing the
mainstream notion of Europeanization, and developing a fuller account of
the impact of European integration on societies. We argue that the current
usage of the term Europeanization has resulted in teleologically fixated
research where the European Union (EU) represents, a priori, the most
developed, the most modern and to be adapted to. In the current
scholarship, Europeanisation is often assumed as a linear process of
domestic adaptation to the EU, furthering stage by stage and experienced
by all societies exposed to Europe in similar modalities. We suggest that
rather than a mere process of institutional and policy adaptation to the
EU, Europeanisation exists as a context where European norms, policies and
institutions are (re)-negotiated by different European societies and
institutions, and have an impact on them. All utterances and actions by
domestic and European level actors making reference to Europe and to the
Europeanness in one way or another re-configure Europeanization as a
normative and political context: context, from which varying ideas, norms
and values can be extracted and used at sub-national, national and
supra-national politics. This panel project is also an attempt to
re-locate the phenomenon of Europeanization within a broader sociological
terrain in order to better understand its interactions with various
domestic and external processes, i.e. modernization, and globalization.
