Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyse how Europeanisation top-down process affects the EU cultural policy. Europeanisation, as an academic concept in political sciences and European studies, became popular if not fashionable in other disciplines during the last two decades, creating new perspectives of scientific discourse. In the case of cultural policy of the EU it influences mechanism of integration in cultural sector as well as process of identification with European community’s values, axiological standards and beliefs. It is also affecting management areas, project management especially, as well as leadership, standardisation, democratisation of political decisions, and methods of administrative governance of the European cities. All those instruments used in Europeanisation processes might help in deeper integration between European nations and make people’s Europe far more aware of a need to participate in cultural transition in Europe.
