This work suggests a new conceptualization of the Europeanization of the central state administrations of European Union (EU) member states. The point of departure is an oversight in most recent conceptual attempts to describe the character of nation-state adaptation due to the integration of national administrations in the EU. Such conceptions have captured only one dimension of the transformation of political and administrative patterns, namely changes in space, such as the emergence of new political levels. What has not been included is the time dimension of integration, i.e. national adaptation to the qualitatively new rhythms of policy-making in the EU. This dimension is as significant as the `spatial' transformation in challenging established theoretical views and conceptual tools.
