This book on the differentiated politicisation of European
governance provides an overview of research on the growing salience
of EU governance, polarisation of opinion and expansion of actors
and audiences engaged in monitoring and influencing EU affairs in
the national context. The contributors empirically map the
diversity of these three core components of politicisation across
countries, time and arenas. The chapters develop novel insights
into the causes and consequence of this differentiated
politicisation of European governance. Going beyond the current
literature, the contributions disaggregate and examine
politicisation processes among different sets of actors and on
different objects using quantitative and qualitative methods
leading to a differentiated picture of politicisation patterns
across EU-member states and non-member states, such as Switzerland.
They highlight the explanatory power of intermediating factors,
like the institutional surrounding and country-specific economic
and cultural conditions in addition to the transfer of political
authority to the EU as the main driver of politicisation. This book
was previously published as a special issue of West European
Politics.
