year = {2025},
note = {Right-wing populist governments have become a common reality in the
member states of the European Union (EU). This article aims to deepen
our understanding on the systemic challenges they pose on
intergovernmental decision-making and identify counterstrategies.
Reflecting on anti-elitism and sovereignism, it points to the
incentives that drive right-wing populist governments in undermining
consensus-building practices in the European Council and the Council.
Yet, conformist governments are not helpless. This article outlines
deliberative and confrontational counterstrategies and studies two
cases in which conformist governments employed them successfully to
reach significant decisions despite populist veto threats: the rule of
law conditionality mechanism and the Ukraine Facility.},
