A critical term used to designate a supposed ultranationalist and imperialist ideology of the European Union (especially its core powers: Germany, France, the Netherlands), analogous to so-called “Ruscism.” In this polemical sense, Europism would be characterized by: belief in the superiority of European civilization, a civilizing mission disguised as “European values,” EU expansion as economic and cultural annexation, treatment of peripheries (Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Africa) as spaces of exploitation, and dehumanization of migrants and refugees. Critics argue that Europism would be a “fascism of market and bureaucracy,” imposing austerity, externalizing borders, and practicing green neocolonialism (energy transition at the expense of the Global South). The term is used mainly by anti-colonial analysts and anti-system movements.
