Wymiary Europeizacji i Jej Kontekst (The Dimensions of Europeanisation and Its Context)

Abstract

The European Union, Europeanization, or Europeanism are currently some of the most popular phrases used in different titles of different elaborations, both scientific papers and popular magazines. At times they are used equivalently, while their meanings differ. The paper focuses on three main streams. First, the author tries to describe the conception of Europeanization, its nature, types and spheres. Secondly, the paper elaborates on dimensions of Europeanization. The author tries to draw up eight dimensions of the above mentioned process of Europeanization. Last, but not least, the context of Europeanization is discussed. The author tries to point up some dependencies between processes such as globalization, integration, regionalism, Europeanism, and finally European Single Market on one hand and Europeanization on the another one. Studying the literature of the subject is the main research method used in the paper. On that basis, the conclusions and recommendations in the field of defining the Europeanization process and its dimensions are drawn up.
