This article provides the framework for some case studies on the dynamics of Europeanisation in South European political economies. It summarises the key features of the common template each case study adopts. Following a discussion on political economy as it is conceptualised in this volume titled Europeanisation and the Southern Periphery' in Retrospect: Another Decade of Dynamism, Asymmetry, and Fragmentation?', the article elaborates the defining attributes of the Europeanisation research programme by focusing on its theoretical core, research design and method of conceptualising and operationalising domestic continuity and change centring on the troika of ideas', interests' and institutions' in unpacking the dynamics therein. It concludes by providing a summary of the contributions to this volume.

Europeanisation in the Southern Periphery': Comparative Research Findings on the Eu's Impact on Domestic Political Economies
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2013) Balkir, Canan; Bolukbasi, H. Tolga; Ertugal, Ebru
This article presents the comparative findings of six case studies of continuity and change in Southern European political economies which make use of the Europeanisation research programme. It summarises the varied European Union (EU) level inputs, frameworks or agendas in the different policy areas that each case study focuses on. It gauges the magnitude and direction of domestic change at the level of policy and governance in each political economy. In order to show how the case studies unpack the relationship between the EU input and domestic change in public policies, the article explains how the prevalent ideas, dominant interests and structuring institutions co-determine the nature of domestic change in political economies.

Europeanisation of Employment Policy in Turkey: Tracing Domestic Change Through Institutions, Ideas and Interests
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2013) Bolukbasi, H. Tolga; Ertugal, Ebru
This article examines the impact of the European Union (EU) on Turkish political economy through an analysis of employment policy. Through tracing institutions', ideas' and interests' representing this policy area, it analyses the extent to which the accession process, which started with the granting of candidate status at the Helsinki Summit in December 1999, has prompted a transformation in this policy area. It draws on empirical evidence based on semi-structured interviews and other primary sources. The main finding is that domestic change occurs, however limited and variegated across sub-policy areas, through policy learning. Moreover, the policy ideas transplanted from the EU gain importance only in interaction with preferences of the coalition of dominant actors.

The Impact of The Eu on Turkey: Toward Streamlining Europeanisation as a Research Programme
(Palgrave Macmillan Ltd, 2010) Bolukbasi, H. Tolga; Ertugal, Ebru; Ozcurumez, Saime
This article provides a reassessment of the literature on the transformative impact of the EU on Turkey through the lens of the 'Europeanisation research programme'. It relies on systematic examination of a sample of the literature based on substantive findings, research design and methods. It suggests that this sample displays limitations characteristic of the Europeanisation research programme and proposes to remedy these limitations by applying the research design and methods used therein for generating empirically based comparative research on Turkey.
