Summary/Abstract: Seeking for new research approaches becomes ever more intensive in European studies, following the promise that “another theory is possible”. One of such approaches is practice turn. This paper presents practice turn as not simply a call for more field research but a far more ambitious theoretical and methodological move. It shows how practice-oriented research differs from other approaches and what it offers the researchers studying the EU. Research concerning the decision-making processes in the Council of the European Union serves as an example to demonstrate solutions which practice turn delivers to certain problems and limitations inherent in this area.
