Abstract
This article provides the framework for some case studies on the dynamics of Europeanisation in South European political economies. It summarises the key features of the common template each case study adopts. Following a discussion on political economy as it is conceptualised in this volume titled Europeanisation and the Southern Periphery' in Retrospect: Another Decade of Dynamism, Asymmetry, and Fragmentation?', the article elaborates the defining attributes of the Europeanisation research programme by focusing on its theoretical core, research design and method of conceptualising and operationalising domestic continuity and change centring on the troika of ideas', interests' and institutions' in unpacking the dynamics therein. It concludes by providing a summary of the contributions to this volume.
