Administrations Need to Face Enlargement and Deepening European Integration — Whith or Without a Constitutional Treaty Europeanisation of administrations can be defined as the sum of internal administrative changes that are the direct or indirect consequence of a member state’s participation in the EC and EU. These include changes in the administration’s institutional structure and organisation chart, in its procedures and routines, its organisational culture and how it perceives its role. Although Europeanisation of national administrations is not a new phenomenon, it is developing along new lines. First of all, Europeanisation hits new fields of public action by new methods. Secondly, the changes under way are qualitative : the latest enlargement welcomed, among others, eight new Member States which over the past half century had been governed by an administration under the rule of a single or dominant party; nine of them are small countries, both as regards size and population.
