Example Sentences

- "Clearly, as has been said, we should diversify sources of energy. […] As Edward Lucas says in his book The New Cold War, we should avoid the Finlandisation, or what he rather unkindly called the "Schröderisation", of western Europe."
- "Little awareness is shown of the aggressive uses of Russian economic power and its intelligence presence, not only in the former Soviet Union but, with increasing confidence and guile, in the new EU member states of Central and Southeastern Europe.

Etymology
From German Schröder (surname of the former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder (born 1944)) + -ization. Schröderization refers to his actions of quickly agreeing to the Nord Stream pipeline project for Russia to supply natural gas to Germany before he stepped down as chancellor in 2005, and subsequently accepting paid positions in various Russian energy companies, which were widely criticized.
