Summary
Europeanization is a specific type of external intervention in the governance of a nation, and Chapter 4 deciphers the many meanings of “Europeanization,” applied in particular to the “modernization” of government and promotion of good governance. Specific theories of change related to Europeanization are then empirically checked against evidence from over 120 countries where EU offers aid, producing little evidence of any impact of EU aid on governance improvement.
