Chapter Chapter 3 in The Europeanization of Domestic Legislatures, 2012, pp 39-58 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we subject Austrian legislation to two different approaches of measuring the extent of Europeanization. We begin by outlining the political and legal framework of legal Europeanization in Austria. Next, we address the Europeanization of lawmaking, that is, the impact of EU membership on the national laws passed immediately before and since Austria’s accession. We show the degree of Europeanization of Austrian legislation as identified by (1) manual coding and (2) by automatic coding with a keyword approach. We show how the keyword measure fares when interpreted as a substitute for the former.
