This article looks at how Europe matters in the development of policies against domestic violence, a gender equality field outside the core European Union (EU) conditionality criteria. By analyzing the concrete workings and uses of Europe's domestic violence policy-making in five Central and Eastern European countries, it identifies three mechanisms of Europeanization in the field and shows how together they work to expand the reach of the EU to this policy realm. The findings point toward an understanding of Europeanization based on social learning and dynamic, interactive processes of constructing what membership in the EU means in terms of domestic violence policy processes.
本文探讨了欧洲在制定反对家庭暴力政策方面的重要性，家庭暴力是欧盟（EU）核心条件标准之外的一个性别平等领域。通过分析五个中东欧国家中欧洲家庭暴力决策的具体运作和使用，本文确定了该领域欧洲化的三种机制，并展示了它们如何共同努力将欧盟的影响力扩大到这一政策领域。研究结果表明，应该基于社会学习和构建欧盟成员资格在家庭暴力政策过程中的含义的动态、互动过程来理解欧洲化。
