Cleavage theory meets gender equality: Examining party positions in Germany
The paper analyses party positions on gender equality policies in Germany. While these policies have been intensively studied in various national contexts and for different parties, less is known to what extent these positions are explained by socio-cultural or socio-economic cleavages. Based on an original party expert survey, conducted in Germany in 2021, we demonstrate that the political space in Germany on gender equality policies is strongly…
One conflict, two public spheres, three national debates: Comparing the value conflict over judicial independence in Europe across print and social media
Conflicts over the independence of judiciary as one of the European Union's core democratic values is one indicator of democratic backsliding among its member states. Based on the Europeanization framework, we compare this conflict in German, Polish and Spanish print media and Twitter from 2019 to 2021. In the countries that are strongly affected by the value conflict, Poland and Spain, Europeanization is less evident. In contrast, the German dis…
Trust in News and Trust through News: The Role of Media Consumption in Social, Political, and Media Trust
On the one hand, media is an instrument of social and political trust building: Through it, trustful citizens are formed and socialized as members of a political community. On the other hand, the media is also an object of trust. And the degree people trust the media and its products has important consequences for the legitimacy of government. The authors use data from their own survey to help answer the question of how trust correlates with patt…
Covid-19 related social media use and attitudes towards pandemic control measures in Europe
In this paper, we explore how the public sphere in Europe changed in the COVID-19 pandemic, i.e., under conditions of extensive social isolation and limited physical contact opportunities. Using data from the Eurobarometer from 2020 and 2021, we show what role digital and social media in particular played in the pandemic. In doing so, we pursue the question of what significance these media had for attitudes towards issues of pandemic control and …
Same Same but Different? Gender Politics and (Trans-)National Value Contestation in Europe on Twitter
The progress achieved in women’s rights and gender equality has become the target of a backlash driven by “anti-gender” activists and right-wing populists across EU member states. To a large extent, this conflict takes place in the digital and social media spheres, illustrating the new mediatized logic of value contestation. Therefore, we ask to what extent are the debates about gender equality on Twitter similar in three European countries, and …
A search for alternatives: Hauke Brunkhorst, Donatella della Porta and Fritz W. Scharpf on the state of the European Integration
This interview is a conversation held by three senior researchers, who have been inquiring the process of European integration for several decades
Social Security in Europe: Towards a Diachronic perspective for Analysing Social Policy Rescaling
Culture, Practice and Europeanization (CPE) is an open access peer reviewed platform for publishing research-based articles predominantly dealing with research into the multiplicity of social processes, interactions, and policies relating to Europeanization and international encounters in Europe. Perspectives may be interdisciplinary. Empirical, theoretical and conceptual texts of significant originality will be considered for publication. CPE pu…
Social Policy and Labor Regulation in the Course of European Integration
At least since the banking crisis of 2008 devolved into a demand-driven economic crisis and, later, a sovereign debt crisis (Scharpf 2011), the concept of crisis has significantly shaped the discourse on European integration. Thus, the rise in refugee immigration and the controversial debate over the responsibilities of individual EU member states has recently made the term refugee crisis o o parla e Pries 6 .

Societal Education and the Education Divide in European Identity, 1992–2015
The fact that highly educated individuals are significantly more likely to self-identify as Europeans than those with lower levels of educational attainment is one of the most robust findings in the scholarship on individual Europeanization. Previous work also shows that this cleavage in supranational identification varies cross-nationally and over time. We contribute to the existing literature by examining the country-level, socio-structural con…
The Brexit phenomenon and its impact on education, politics, and economy
The voting public, with the referendum of June 2016, have opted for a withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. Since the shockingand surprising even for those initiating the referendumresults have been made public, the EU and its citizens speculate about the possible withdrawal and its consequences. Media, and social media especially, have contributed to such speculations; however, they also reported on immediate social impacts w…

Domestic transnationalism and the formation of pro-European sentiments
Increasingly, research on attitudes towards the European project focuses on transnational practices. This article furthers the transnational approach by offering the first systematic analysis of how domestic transnationalism – i.e. transnational practices conducted in the home country – influences the formation of pro-European sentiments. We argue that domestic transnational activities foster recognition of common, transnational interests and ide…
Europeanization from below: The influence of individual actors on the EU integration of social policies
European political integration has largely been described as a process that is driven by elites rather than citizens. This does not apply to the field of European social policy, which is often influenced by individual actors and their particular interests. This specific involvement of individuals is based on politically created roles, such as European Consumer, European Worker and European Citizen, and the rights related to them. EU citizens now …

Grenzsoziologie
Territoriale Grenzen und ihre Wirkungen sind nicht erst in jüngster Zeit ein wichtiges Thema der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung. Dennoch bleibt gerade die Soziologie eine fundierte Auseinandersetzung sowohl mit Entstehung als auch mit Wirkung von Grenzen und Grenzziehungen bisher schuldig. Der vorliegende Band reagiert auf dieses Defizit und beantwortet auf der Grundlage sowohl klassischer soziologischer Theorieansätze, als auch neuerer theor…

Räume und Grenzen in Europa. Der Mehrwert soziologischer Grenz- und Raumforschung für die Europasoziologie
Fest steht: Im Zuge von Globalisierung und Europäisierung haben sich die Raumbezüge von Politik und Gesellschaft verändert. Aber wie genau gestaltet sich das Verhältnis von Raum und Gesellschaft heute? Was ist neu und was ist anders? Zunächst einmal scheint es die Definition des Raumbezugs zu sein, die an Selbstverständlichkeit verliert: Im postnationalen Raum eines politisch vereinigten Europa wird die Eindeutigkeit nationaler Bezugssysteme durc…
