Europology
The study of the European Union and European politics using Sovietological methods: analyzing the opaque bureaucracy in Brussels, the power dynamics between member states, and the gap between proclaimed values (democracy, transparency, human rights) and actual practice (backroom deals, austerity enforcement, externalizing borders). Europology examines how the Commission, Council, and Parliament interact like the Politburo, Central Committee, and Supreme Soviet—formal democratic structures overlaid on a system of elite negotiation. It also studies the production of European identity as an ideological project.
Example: “Her europology of the Eurozone crisis traced how the ‘troika’ (ECB, IMF, Commission) imposed austerity on Greece with no democratic mandate—Kremlinology for Brussels.”
