    Abstract

    ‘Intergovernmental’ Council decision making has manifestly transformative potential not just in its polity‐making, but also in its policy‐making variant. This diminishes the utility of the concept of intergovernmentalism and challenges the theory of liberal intergovernmentalism, which should be applicable to both intergovernmental polity‐ and policy‐making alike, but, unlike its theoretical rivals supranationalism and constructivism, does not capture the transformative potential of everyday policy‐making. Given that both ‘intergovernmental’ and ‘supranational’ modes of policy‐making have transformative potential, and that both labels are merely ideal types of empirical reality, a case can be made that both the ‘intergovernmental’/‘supranational’ and the policy‐making/polity‐making dichotomies are dissolving.
