Europeanization of Norwegian and German Agriculture

Tildelt: kr 35 000

Dear members of the program-committee. I hereby announce my sincere interest and intention to apply for the E.ON Ruhrgas scholarship. I regard this to be an excellent opportunity for me to make my return to Germany, a country whose culture, people, values and academic level I admire the most. I have recently discovered that the University of Potsdam offers a variety of courses on the subject Public policies and administration at masters level. These are courses, which in relation to my planned master th esis are highly compatible. My intention is namely to scrutinize the phenomena Europeanization. A phenomena which according to Johan P. Olsen (2002: 923) can be interpreted in a variety of ways. Broadly speaking, Europeanization implies distinct institut ional changes on the European and domestic level. It can for instance be understood as the degree to which Europe is becoming a more unified and stronger political entity (Olsen, 2002: 924). My aim is to scrutinize the level of influence Europeanization i nflicts upon Norwegian farmer-unions. Is a development in the direction of a common European model of agriculture possible to trace in Norway? And what kind of model would this European model constitute? In order to answer these questions, I would like to compare the degree of Europeanization on Norwegian farmer-unions with German ones. If doing so, I imagine it will be possible to draw a picture of similarities and differences related to the level of influence from the European level. When it comes to master courses the University of Potsdam can offer, all of which I believe will be valuable for my finishing essay, I will mention: -Europeanisation: Transforming National Political Systems? -Governance in der EU. Praxis der EU-Entscheidungsverfahren - Policy-Making in International Organizations -Theories of EU Policy-Analysis -International Public Policy -Interessengruppen und Lobbying in westlichen Ländern (DIPLOM)
