Abstract
This chapter bridges the theoretical and the empirical part of the book. We further specify our main hypothesis and operationalize the variables that we use in our comparative research on the effectiveness of international socialization in the European transformation countries. Then, we justify our selection of cases and describe how we will analyze them.
