Over the last decade, two concepts have gradually come into focus of the European integration studies. The first is related to the ‘politicisation of the EU’ - a complex theory that aims to link a number of political and public issues underlying the growing contradictions of multi-level decision-making in the EU. The second line of analysis concerns the ‘parliamentarisation’ of the EU, referring to the changing institutional role of the European Parliament and its interaction with member state legislatures. The main thesis of this paper is that we need to consider parliamentarisation as a salient but yet insufficient component of a broader process of politicisation. This goes far beyond the standard theoretical concepts and urges a new reading of the consequences, connected to this reality, contributing to a more complete understanding of the EU decision-making process and increasing its legitimacy and transparency in the context of crises, the new role of the European Parliament and growing Euroscepticism.
