Europeanization in the Twentieth Century

Europeanization is a term at the centre of contemporary political debate. In this innovative study, a team of British and German historians present the findings of their research project into how the concept and content of Europeanization needs to be understood as a historical phenomenon, which has changed its meaning during the twentieth century.

'Europeanization in the Twentieth Century is an ambitious collaborative attempt to insert a historical perspective into current political and academic debates on the issue of Europeanisation. The central aim of the volume is to move beyond, and in so doing, to problematise, the current conflation of Europeanisation with processes linked to the European Union (EU). In this aim, the volume is entirely successful.' - European Review of History
