Europeanization of Sociology

Is there a causal relationship between the accessions of the neighbor countries Slovenia and Austria to the European Union on the formation and development of sociology as a European scientific discipline? This study in a comparative perspective provides extensive empirical evidence for the institutional dynamics of Europeanization in regard to the social sciences. Results have shown that within a European context, sociology is working under new restrictions but also encounters enabling opportunities. Transnational cooperation of scholars contributes to a stock of knowledge more and more known as European sociology.
