Abstract

Europeanization of housing piolicies was, separately as well as a part of wider European social policy, of marginal research importance in housing studies because of non-interference of EU in member states' domestic housing policies. Responsibility for housing policies lies at the level of EU member states and therefore it is necessary to study European integration in this area multidimensionally. Europeanization impacts related to housing policies are comparatively analysed by using integration mechanisms approach on two post-socialist EU member states: Slovenia and Croatia. Concluding discussion is focused on pointing out the Europeanization deficit in the housing area when Croatia is concerned, in relation to Slovenia. Finally, country sample enlargement is advised by including other cases of post-socialist EU member states dealing with European policy impulses in housing area, which puts this paper in service of further housing policy research.
