Résumé :

The political programmes drafted by the political parties at European level arereputed consensual and unappealing, just like their designers, and as such aremarginalised. We argue that Euromanifestos nevertheless constitute a dynamicmaterial, and a relevant indicator of the structuring of the European politicalspace. Using computer-based discourse analysis, this article examines howthe politicisation of the European political sphere is given to see in the 2014manifestos published by the 13 registered Europarties ahead of the Europeanelections. Results show that although sharing a discursive space, each Europartymobilizes this space in a peculiar manner, leading to a plurality of Europeanprojects.
