Europeanization mechanisms for the Netherlands through the Recovery and Resilience Facility
Summary
This thesis has investigated Europeanization mechanisms for the Netherlands through the Covid Recovery and Resilience Facility. In doing so, it has looked into the (potential) misfits between the Dutch policy, procedural, and institutional context, the adaptational pressures, and the domestic change as a result of these pressures and misfits in order to grasp how Europeanization takes place for the Netherlands through the RRF. It has found larger-than-expected misfits and considerable adaptational pressures. The domestic change this brings depends largely on future developments, but it can be concluded that significant constraining factors limit paradigmatic domestic change through the RRF.
