What is "europeanisation"

Europeanisation (or Europeanization, see spelling differences) refers to a number of related phenomena and patterns of change:

• The process in which a notionally non-European subject (be it a culture, a language, a city or a nation) adopts a number of European features ( Westernization).
• Outside of the social sciences, it commonly refers to the growth of a European continental identity or polity over and above national identities and polities on the continent.
• Europeanisation may also refer to the process through which European Union political and economic dynamics become part of the organisational logic of national politics and policy-making.
