Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The paper adopts a historical sociological perspective to investigate the concept Europeanization in a long-term perspective, which challenges the conventional assumption that Europeanization has its origin in Europe and that it is purely an outward going process. It is argued that although the term ?Europeanization?, suggests a European heritage, that in fact ?Europeanization? can be conceptualized as several different processes of identity constructions where Europeans have been as much on the receiving end of norm socialization as they have been promoters of a specific European norm set. In fact before Europeans could themselves ?Europeanize? they had to develop a European identity through processes of civilization, which although the ideas and inventions on which Europe?s civilization were based had their origin in the East, nevertheless succeeded in constructing Europe as culturally, religiously and racially superior. Following the Second World War, a new form of Europeanization emerged based on new norms (democracy, market economy, human rights, the rule of law, non-discrimination and good governance) and new self/other categorizations, where ironically Europeans have been Europeanized mostly by Americans. The paper ends by speculating on the implications of Globalization on Europeanization ? is Europeanization increasingly becoming an internal process designed to defend the cherished position as Europeans as the ?haves? against the ?have nots? in a globalized world?
