Practice turn in European studies – assumptions and potential applications

Abstracts

EN
Seeking for new research approaches becomes ever more intensive in European studies, following the promise that “another theory is possible”. One of such approaches is practice turn. This paper presents practice turn as not simply a call for more field research but a far more ambitious theoretical and methodological move. It shows how practice-oriented research differs from other approaches and what it offers the researchers studying the EU. Research concerning the decision-making processes in the Council of the European Union serves as an example to demonstrate solutions which practice turn delivers to certain problems and limitations inherent in this area.

W ostatnim czasie w studiach europejskich coraz intensywniej poszukuje się nowych podejść badawczych w myśl hasła „inna teoria jest możliwa”. Jednym z nich może być zwrot praktyczny (practice turn). Niniejszy artykuł prezentuje ten zwrot jako ruch teoretyczny i metodologiczny daleko wykraczający poza podkreślenie znaczenia badań terenowych w studiach nad UE. Pokaże on, co wyróżnia badania skupione na praktykach i co oferują one badającym UE. W szczególności, na przykładzie badań dotyczących podejmowania decyzji w Radzie Unii Europejskiej, artykuł wskazuje rozwiązania, jakich zwrot praktyczny dostarcza dla niektórych problemów, jak również wyjścia ze ślepych uliczek, charakteryzujących obecnie ten obszar.
