EUROPEANISATION AND ITS COMPLEX IMPACT ON THE NATIONAL POLICY OF THE STATE

D. Karabova, P. Juza

Abstract

The concept of Europeanization can be perceived as a phenomenon affecting all components of sub-national, national and multinational society, however, in the last period, most academics consider it more from the perspective of so called “bottom-down” approach, whose ambition is to explore the peace, form and dynamics of the impact of European integration on society as such. This means that European policies, European legislation, culture, values, and the very existence of the EU have a comprehensive influence on the relationship of the nation state's society to the EU and contribute to the change of national identity. Our aim is to analyze the theoretical approaches that examine Europeanization from the perspective of its impact on national politics. European integration and all its forms have a comprehensive impact on the overall policy of the nation state, taking into account politics, policies and policy. Therefore, it is our ambition to compare the approaches of the most respected theoreticians dealing with the "bottom-down" strategy of Europeanization processes, which examines the implications of European integration on national political processes. We see this as important, especially since the future of European integration depends on a Member States' behavior and preferences.
