Abstract

Most literature on the interaction between European institutions and NGOs focuses on interest representation and lobbying. This article tackles a neglected aspect of this interaction: the effects of European funding opportunities on NGO's organizational structures and on their values and identity. EU influence on national political systems is usually analyzed as a process of Europeanization. Some analytical tools as the misfit model can indeed throw some light at the dynamics at work.European funds alter the redistribution of resources among national NGOs, enabling in some cases a dynamics of growth and altering NGOs national landscapes. Specific requirements to obtain European funds can also modify norms about what is to be considered as appropriate behaviour launching a process of socialization. Empirical evidence is drawn from Humanitarian NGOs, which are those receiving more amounts of money from the EU. In order to grasp Europe's differential impact in different national contexts, we have analyzed NGOs from the United Kingdom, France and Spain.
