Abstract
The chapter focuses on two important developments in European governance that have been particularly pronounced in the last few years. These are a tendency toward more coercive Europeanization stemming from an increasingly assertive role taken by the European Union institutions, but also occurrences of increased divergence from the EU norms and prescribed models, which could be described as de-Europeanization. It is argued that the two phenomena are interrelated and they need to be explored and theorized further, in order to build a more precise picture of what Europeanization is and how it evolves in time.
