THE EU AND CENTRAL & EASTERN EUROPE KARTONIERT ...

The changes in post-socialist Central and Eastern European countries have been affected by
external influences more than any preceding wave of democratization. The contributions in this
volume reflect the wide variety of Europeanization processes taking place in Central and
Eastern Europe. They not only serve to illustrate the significant differences among
post-socialist transformations  but also highlight the variety of theoretical concepts and
methodological approaches at our disposal to research different aspects of Europeanization in
the broader context of globalization and identity changes. The first part of the book deals
with Europeanization 'from above'  i.e. with the European Commission's deliberate promotion of
specific rules and related policies during the integration process. In the second part of the
book  the perspective shifts to Europeanization as a process of changing perceptions  values
and identities. The third and final part of this book goes beyond the Europeanization approach.
It places Europeanization in the context of the various globalization pressures on civil
society. This book presents some of the best papers of the Changing Europe Summer School on
Central and Eastern Europe in a globalized world  held at the University of Bremen  Germany in
July August 2008.
