Europeanization, European Integration, Political parties, SMER-SDAbstract
Europeanization is a phenomenon that contains several possible roles of exploration, while the study of the Europeanization of political parties according to the five dimensions defined by Robert Ladrech is considered to be one of the most important. The aim of the paper is to map the changes in the program rhetoric of the political party SMER-SD which since its inception has become one of the most important opinion-forming entities within the Slovak society. SMER-SD was an important political player already in the period before Slovakia's accession to the EU, being present at all important milestones connected with the integration of Slovakia into the European structures. The paper seeks to explore the extent to which the SMER-SD party's program has been Europeanized since its establishment to the present.
