How does politicisation affect the ratification of mixed EU trade agreements? The case of Ceta
This article examines how politicization has affected the ratification of the EU–Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) in EU member states. The study is based on the conceptual framework of discursive postfunctionalism. This approach builds on postfunctionalist arguments about the constraining impact of politicization on national governments' EU-related policy making, but seeks to specify them further by examining mediating fac…
The European Green Deal Agenda After the Attack on Ukraine
The present article investigates how the EU climate and energy governance framework launched by the European Green Deal has been affected by the exogenous shock of the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine. Harnessing punctuated equilibrium theory, the theoretical approach applies its conceptual triad of policy images, venues, and feedback to the adoption of the current REPowerEU program as a critical test case of highly stable policy-making encou…

Framing Climate Change in the EU and US After the Paris Agreement
Discursive postfunctionalism
Research on EU-related politicization has advanced in the empirical measurement of controversy within and between political arenas, but continues to debate the impacts of political contestation on policy-making on a theoretical level. While postfunctionalism predicts a ‘constraining dissensus’, empirical accounts present mixed evidence, suggesting the ability of executives to avoid or circumvent such political constraints. The article harnesses d…
Framing Climate Change in the EU and US after the Paris Agreement
Contesting the European Union in a changing climate
Climate change policy is an important test case for how political agents use narratives to address complex policy issues and define its scope and impacts in a multi-level context. Harnessing a theoretical approach based on framing analysis and the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF), the article asks to what degree agents at the level of domestic parliamentary discourse expand narrative stories of climate action to agents and institutions at the Eur…
The European Parliament as an Arena and Agent in the Politics of Climate Change
Climate change policy is a key example for globalized multi-level governance, involving the European Parliament (EP) both as legislator of internal European Union (EU) regulation and discursive agent in global climate negotiations. Based on the comparison of decision-making in external and internal climate change policy, the article investigates the link between the role of the EP as a political actor and arena for the interaction of competing pa…
Grand Coalition Policy Meets the EU’s Multiple Crises
The article investigates the cohesion of public discourse by members of the Merkel III government on three challenges of European governance: the negotiations on UK withdrawal from the EU, the management of the Greek debt crisis, and political responses to the entry of migrants into the EU and the refugee pact with Turkey. The rationale is to assess how unfolding controversy on German leadership in the EU prompted by these challenges is reflected…
Recalibrating Germany's Role in Europe
Unification has had a catalytic effect on discursive justifications for Germany's involvement in the European Union at two levels: first, through the Federal Republic's more exposed leadership role in an enlarged EU; and second, through the rise of the Left Party as a predominantly East German, but also the first consistently Eurosceptic party with parliamentary representation at the federal level. Investigating plenary debates in the Bundestag r…
German Unification as a Catalyst for Change
Fundamental social, political and economic changes that have taken hold in the Federal Republic since 1990 have undermined the idea of a single master narrative setting the course for unification. This special issue links processes of national transformation to a wide array of domestic, supranational and global developments, highlighting the long-term impact of unification on policy domains often neglected during earlier stages of analysis. At is…
End of Consensus? The European Leadership Discourse of the Second Merkel Government during the Eurozone Crisis and Its Contestation in Debates of the Bundestag (2009−13)
This article investigates the political discourse on the resolution of the Eurozone of the second Merkel government and its political contestation in plenary debates of the Bundestag. The empirical part demonstrates the high relevance of normative arguments in the debate, both for the case made by the government parties for a Stability Union and related concepts of austerity and economic reform, and for the competing discourse by the opposition p…
Justification and political polarization in national parliamentary debates on EU treaty reform
National parliaments are arenas both for the discursive justification of European integration and its party political contestation. This article harnesses a discourse theoretical framework to investigate the links between both dimensions in debates about the revision of the EU treaties in the parliaments of four member states (Austria, France, Germany and the United Kingdom). Two arguments are proposed: first, a distinction between discursive per…
Challenging Domestic Politics? European Debates of National Parliaments in France, Germany and the UK
The thesis of a ‘politicisation’ of European integration has been influential both for research about the EU and comparative research on political parties. However, the debate triggered by this thesis remains elusive, inter alia, with regard to the thematic structure and the interaction modes of parties within controversies about EU multi-level governance. Against this background, the present article maps the thematic and party political dimensio…
Contesting Europe, or Germany's Place in Europe? European Integration and the EU Policies of the Grand Coalition Government in the Mirror of Parliamentary Debates in the Bundestag
This article explores how European integration is contested between political parties in debates of the German Bundestag. Distinguishing between 'domestic' debates about the conduct of EU policy-making by the German government and 'supranational' debates about the institutions and policies of the European Union, the article asks for thematic objects and patterns of polarisation between parties within these debates. Presenting empirical evidence f…
