Summary/Abstract: The article aims to summarize the many approaches for studying the relationship between national and European dimensions of public policy. Based on existing analytical tools the article attempt to draw up a sufficiently broad and pluralistic approach to the study of public policy coordinated at EU level without falling within the exclusive or shared competence of the Union. The three branches of the new institutionalism serve as methodological basis – the institutionalism of rational choice, sociological institutionalism and historical institutionalism, which are complemented by other approaches and concepts which contribute to European researches. As a result, an exemplary studying model is formed which having no claims of universality, allows testing a wide range of policies for which regulatory and economic analyzes appear to be limited.
