Abstract

Europe is the EU research and integration of the two core concepts. In recent years, increasing use of "European" concept not only reflects the development process of European integration, but also reflects the development of the members of this huge reaction. Europeanization is not a new wine in old bottles, nor is the fundamental concept of innovation, but a very abstract concept, it can not process and the characteristics of the concept as operational research, most studies only the changes to the national level as the result of European integration. European concept of users in many aspects of neo-functionalism was amended to place more emphasis on the complexity of the political operation, more attention to development between European and national research into the mechanism of the system, emphasizing the changing opportunity structures in the framework of interest demands and communication, learning and socialization process. Europeanization and European Integration are two central terms in the EU study. This article aims at comparing the two conceptions and analyzing the similarities and differences between them. With the help of case study are the methodology in Europeanization research and its research design to be drawn out . The term Europeanization is very popular in recent years, which reflects not only the process of European Integration itself, but also its huge counterforce on the member states. Europeanization is neither tautology nor completely conceptional creation but a very abstract conception, of which process and feature can yet not be defined as operable terms. While the most researchers still believe the changes on the national level as a consequence driven by European integration, the researchers who use this term have in many ways revising the theory of neo-functionalism, puffing more stress on the complexity of function of political system, paying more attention to systematical research on the transformation mechanism between the development of EU and its member states, and emphasizing the interest appeal and the process of learning and socialization in the transformed opportunity structural framework
