We propose that the European Union (EU) should be used in citizenship education as a possible vehicle for citizens' influence on issues outside the reach of the nation-state. Citizenship education thus ought to include the EU as an arena for political action and relevant ''EU knowledge'' ought to be part of the curriculum. Concepts from the German politische Bildung tradition are used to discuss what should be the content of an education aiming at educating young people to (become) democratic citizens and the level of competence required in order to function as a democratic citizen. The ''reflecting spectator'' is given special attention. Environmental issues are chosen, for three reasons, to show how EU education can be part of citizenship education: the transborder character of environmental problems, the multilevel responsibilities connected to them, and the fact that virtually all European environmental policy is made in, or in close association with, the EU.

“…In relation to transport the parliament adopted the so-called Vision Zero policy in 1997, which is based on the ethical standpoint that no one should be killed or suffer permanent injuries in road traffic. Another change influencing transport planning was that Sweden started a process of regionalisation and decentralisation of regional policy in part influenced by the EU structural funds (Stegman Mccallion, 2007). Furthermore, in 1999, 15 (later 16) environmental quality objectives (EQOs) were established, these were to be reached within one generation.…”

“…More generally, Kohler-Koch and Rittberger (2006: 33) describe MLG as one of the many concepts that emerged in the recent past 'to grasp the alleged sui generis-nature of the EU polity' . However, a decade or so after Marks's formulation of MLG, a more 'generalist' strand of scholarship appeared, which relaxed the concept's implicit supranational requirement and applied it to settings as diverse as federations (Painter 2001), international cooperation (Welch & Kennedy-Pipe 2004) and even unitary states (Baldersheim & Ståhlberg 2002;Stegmann McCallion 2007). Interestingly, these developments were accompanied by a broadening of the MLG idea by Marks himself (and his co-author Liesbet Hooghe) to include 'types' covering an institutional range going from traditional federal systems to international regimes (Hooghe & Marks 2003).…”

Despite its widespread use in European studies and beyond, the concept of multilevel governance (MLG) still suffers from a considerable degree of uncertainty as to its precise meaning, which in turn hinders the cumulative development of this research programme. In an attempt to stimulate a systematic methodological discussion of the idea of MLG, this article presents a critical reconstruction of the concept structured around three ‘axes of ambiguity’– the applicability of MLG beyond the European Union; the role of non‐state actors; the focus on policy‐making structures versus processes – followed by a conceptual assessment and clarification strategy based on John Gerring's criterial framework. Building particularly on Gerring's criterion of causal utility, the article argues that the MLG concept is best clarified along the (not necessarily exclusive) lines of two theoretical directions emerging from the literature: MLG as a theory of state transformation, and MLG as a theory of public policy. For each of the two models, the criterial framework also indicates a number of corresponding conceptual shortcomings which MLG scholars should try to reduce as much as possible in future refinements of this idea.
