Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Western Europe, grade: 3.0, Ruhr-University of Bochum, course: European Economy, language: English, abstract: The term Europeanization is becoming more and more fashionable. Some scholars including Samuel Huntington argue that citizens of European states increasingly identify themselves as such, rather than French, German etc. Various theories and terminologies are used to describe Europeanization and its future .But such attempts have failed because this term does not have single or precise meaning. Europeanization has reached a crucial stage. Scholars are debating about the trends and directions of Europeanization. Convergence, Divergence, Similarities or Differences are some of the flashpoints of discussions. Such discussions have raised various questions about Europeanization. e.g. What is the emerging picture of Europeanization and how this polarization is taking place? This work aims to find out answers to these questions and more precisely about direction of this process i.e. how Europeanization is heading towards clustered convergence? I also narrate emerging faces and trends in Europeanization. What is Europeanization? This work is aiming for description of present trend in Europeanization. I will begin with discussing some definitions about Europeanization. I also agree that Europeanization is not an easy term to define. Hence I will proceed further to discuss and debate about Europeanization in nutshell. How Europeanization takes place? After describing Europeanization I will proceed to discuss the logic adopted by various scholars to facilitate Europeanization. Forthcoming section of the term paper deals with five faces of Europeanization as discussed by Johan Olsen. Discussion about Europeanization would be incomplete unless a reference is made to globalization. Hence in this paper I also intend to describe relationship between Europeanization and globalization. Concluding chapter is about ground realities and attempts to find a viable description of future trend of Europeanization. This work is primarily based on the essays of Tanja Boerzel et al and Johan Olsen. In addition to these two essays, I have taken help from several other resources and working papers.
