Politicising Europe presents the most comprehensive contribution to
empirical research on politicisation to date. The study is innovative
in both conceptual and empirical terms. Conceptually, the contributors
develop and apply a new index and typology of politicisation.
Empirically, the volume presents a huge amount of original data,
tracing politicisation in a comparative perspective over more than
forty years. Focusing on six European countries (Austria, France,
Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK) from the 1970s to the current
euro crisis, the book examines conflicts over Europe in election
campaigns, street protests, and public debates on every major step in
the integration process. It shows that European integration has indeed
become politicised. However, the patterns and developments differ
markedly across countries and arenas, and many of the key hypotheses
on the driving forces of change need to be revisited in view of new
findings.
