Although there is not paucity of research on the role of European civil society, the lion’s share of this research has focused on civil society participation and actions in Brussels. In contrast, literature on narratives of contestation beyond Brussels is less frequent. This panels seeks to investigate involvement of different types of CSOs in narratives of contestation outside the Brussels complex. This includes both EU participation opportunities at the national level and bottom-up contestation processes over the EU policies: • civil society actors participation in the EU policy-making at the national, regional and local levels and the role of the EU legal and policy requirements in promoting it. The examples of requirements are the partnership principle for the Structural Funds, OMC and experimentalist forms of governance; • use of EU opportunities and participatory channels – directly by national, regional, local CSOs, including petitions, citizens initiatives, etc. • bottom-up participation, advocacy or lobbying activities around EU policies at the national, regional and local levels. The Stop TTIP campaign will be particularly relevant in this context. • domestic protests and contention over the EU policies across levels of governance.
