Description: Europeanisation is mostly associated with new forms of European governance and rarely encompasses wider processes of societal and economic change, or of identity formation. This book provides a richer analysis of Europeanisation by taking stock of European cultural policies, with a focus on European Capitals of Culture (ECOC).
