Abstract

By using the difference between unitary and cooperative federalism models, this paper attempts to grasp new forms of decision-making process in the post-Lisbon EU, since the previous distinction between community and intergovernmental decision-making method has lost its explanatory power in the current situation - especially in connection with the abolition of the pillar structure of European law and the introduction of a single legal personality of the Union. Unlike the older classification, it is now possible to distinguish between competences exercised within the unitary and cooperative model - the selected way of legal steering (unification and harmonization versus coordination) and the corresponding role of European institutions and Member States in EU policies set in the Lisbon Treaty being the dividing criteria. The text identifies the strengths and weaknesses of both models and considers possible consequences of new forms of decision-making process for the Czech Republic.
