虽然有越来越多的证据表明，欧洲一体化已被政治化，但对这一进程的驱动力的了解仍然有限。这篇文章有助于研究的重要性，权力转移到欧盟的政治化的驱动程序。它以两种方式进行创新。首先，它扩展了权力转移的论点，突出动员力量的成员冲突;其次，它分析了国家的机会结构，特别是公民投票的相关性，并动员战略政治化。从经验上看，它追溯了从20世纪70年代到21世纪末六个西欧国家（奥地利，英国，法国，德国，瑞典和瑞士）的每一个一体化步骤（条约改革和扩大）的公共辩论中的政治化，基于报纸报道的定量内容分析。
While there is increasing evidence that European integration has been politicised, knowledge of the driving forces of this process is still limited. This article contributes to the research by examining the importance of authority transfers to the EU as drivers of politicisation. It innovates in two ways. First, it extends the authority transfer argument by highlighting the mobilising power of membership conflicts; second, it analyses the relevance of national opportunity structures, referenda in particular, and mobilising strategies for politicisation. Empirically, it traces politicisation in public debates on every integration step (treaty reforms and enlargement) from the 1970s to the late 2000s in six West European countries (Austria, Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland), based on a quantitative content analysis of newspaper coverage.
