The purpose of the studies is to describe the effects of europanization upon the operations of the nordic central administrations. A questionnaire was addressed to departments in ministries and departments in bodies outside ministries in 1998 and 2003.

The purpose of the study is to provide knowledge about how different parts of the central administration is affected by the EU / the EEA agreement. Focus in the stydy is primarily not on formal laws and regulations, but on informal integration processes.
