Europeanization, in this paper, relates to changes in policy, politics and polity at the level of individual member states, changes that have been discussed as a "transformation of governance" in academic literature. [This] paper seeks to contribute to that debate. It looks at changes in domestic regional policy in the UK and Germany during the 1980s and 1990s and asks whether and to what extent such changes are related to the emergence of cohesion policy at the level of the European Community. A second objective is to develop a concept of Europeanization that leaves behind the mechanistic assumption that Europeanization mainly works through "adaptation pressures" emerging from the European...

We accord with those who emphasize the sui generis character of the EU and work with the concept of ‘multi-level governance’ (Jachtenfuchs and Kohler-Koch 1996, Kohler-Koch 1998, 1998a). The concept has become common currency in analyses of the internal development of the EU, but has been used relatively little for understanding the international role of the EU. We seek to develop an understanding of how the concept of multi-level governance can be extended to the international sphere and what effects the international embeddedness of the EU has for its internal institutional structure and policies. Before we can do so, however, we have to clarify our use of the term multi-level governance, and what it exactly means to incorporate international factors into the concept of multi-level governance.
