This article compares how the role and place of civil society groups in multilevel governance have evolved in C anada and the E uropean Union ( EU ). It argues that, while the scope for engagement of organizations in the EU has broadened, it has been increasingly narrowed in C anada, to the extent that the policy process may be undermined. The article concludes with some insights from the EU experience in order to revive policy coordination in C anada as a governance technique.
