Research on Europeanization increasingly focuses on the impact of the integration process on the national policies & structures of EU member states. This article investigates how federal states are affected by comparing Swiss & German science & technology policies. It shows that European integration leads to similar changes in terms of structures, processes & policy contents. Starting from the national political-institutional settings in both states & their respective integration policies, this article argues that changes primarily concern policy processes & that they occur irrespective of the type of federalism & regardless of EU membership. 50 References.
