To my surprise, my 1995 Concise Ox. Dic., has Anglicize, but I think anglicization would be better, both on the grounds of the capital looking 'heavy' nowadays and the ghost of 'Anglican' it might raise.
Incidentally, Ann, Oxford publications use ize, ,damn them, but add (also -ise) . Some pedantic nonsense about Ancient Greek roots, I believe. I prefer visual harmony with neighbouring Modern French, angliciser.
