The Jean Monnet Module ”Patterns of Europeanization in Central and Eastern Europe” focuses on an insufficiently explored field of the European studies. The Module is premised on the tacitly acknowledged fact that the ”younger” member-states, such as Romania, undergo an European integration process, which is inherently influenced by both their recent history and current geopolitical position, whereas teaching, debates, and research on Europeanization of the CEE countries is rather scarce. In this vein, the Module adds academic value through the following outputs:1. The Module delivers tailor-made courses on specific EU issues relevant to students in their professional life as EU affairs experts. The three courses comprised by the Module tackle specific aspects of EU integration studies, in an attempt to thoroughly describe and explain how Europeanization works in countries in Central and Eastern Europe and in Romania, in particular. 2. The Module fosters the publication and dissemination of the results of relevant research work in the field. All three courses included in the Module have a solid research component, which will be exploited and developed during the lifespan of the project. The scientific products (papers, report, data base etc.) resulted from the research activities in the project will be disseminated and promoted within the academic community and the wider public. T3. The Module promotes interdisciplinary approaches to and the internalization of research on Europeanization by creating networks of researchers and scholars working on this topic and by fostering partnerships with research institutions in countries in Central and Eastern Europe. 4. Another very important outcome of the Module is the study on Europeanization in Romania. The country report will combine theoretical models of Europeanization with empirical data that reveal which model, or part of a model, applies better to Romania.
