Description
Summary:This chapter analyses the potential effects that European Union (EU) membership has had on Spain in the Science, Technology and Innovation policy (STIP) domain. The chapter provides a general overview of EU and Spanish STI policies; and addresses the scope, type and meaning of the processes of Europeanisation and the barriers that domestic factors have created. The conclusion is that while Europeanisation of discourse is high as a source of legitimation, Europeanisation of policies and institutional changes have been moderate. However, the increasing reliance of the Spanish STIP on EU funding sources is likely to increase the impact in the future.
