This thesis analyzes the effects of the European Union’s meta-organizational structure on the attribution and diffusion of political responsibility within European energy governance. By examining Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the National Energy and Climate Plans of Denmark and Poland, the study explores the distribution and discursive framing of responsibility across multiple governance levels. In this study, the EU is understood as a meta-organization that works through coordination and cooperation between member states rather than through direct hierarchical control, drawing on ideas from organizational theory and multi-level governance. Methodologically, the research uses Carol Bacchi’s “What’s the Problem Represented to Be? (WPR) framework in collaboration with Narrative Policy Analysis (NPA) to investigate the discursive construction of policy problems, actor roles, and responsibility relations within the EU policy documents. The results indicate that the EU’s governance structure facilitates collective coordination while also diffusing political responsibility between supranational and national actors. The thesis claims that this ambiguity is not incidental but rather structurally embedded in the EU’s institutional design, which ultimately enables both EU institutions and member states to shift accountability.
