How will the #EU adapt to the “rupture” of the international order?

Our article looks at the #GreenDeal, but the power dynamics we identify are likely to consolidate as the EU faces what may be its most cross-sectoral challenge yet.

Thank you Ronny! I’ve read and enjoyed very much your article, which is cited in the thesis ;) Centralisation is still, and possibly more, evident.

I’m happy to continue the discussion!

PhD submission yesterday ✨ The defence is still to come, but I’m really looking forward to sharing more about my research - and the people who supported me along the way.

If you’re curious about the European Commission’s role in #EUbudget politics, let me know. There’s so much behind the figures!

First, size: The COM proposes an overall size of 1.26% of EU GNI or about 1.8 tn euros in today's prices (don't use the bigger 2tn number in current prices, it messes with your head and makes it impossible to shift sums around between years and items). This is a very moderate increase in size.

Online first: "The EU core executive and the Green Deal" by @uwepuetter.bsky.social & @cterranova.bsky.social

This article introduces the concept of the EU core executive, as
an ensemble of select actors, centrally steering Green Deal decision making.

doi.org/10.1080/0140...

We test our framework on the European Green Deal, but we expect it can apply to other cross-sectoral policy challenges as well!

We also show that the centralisation within the Commission is, at least in part, a response to the demands of managing complex cross-sectoral challenges.

A key insight from our research is the political proximity between the European Council and the Commission presidency, as well as Coreper’s role as a crucial bridging actor within the EU core executive.

While the European Council plays a presidential role within the EU core executive, the Commission presidency, Coreper, and the rotating Council presidency facilitate and oversee cross-sectoral coordination.

Very happy to see our work published on @wepsocial.bsky.social! Together with @uwepuetter.bsky.social, we propose the concept of the EU core executive to explain how the Union responds to major cross-sectoral policy challenges like the Green Deal.

The pretty concise position paper of the new German government on the next long term EU budget aka MFF just dropped. It lends clear support to the Commission's bold reform ideas on the MFF architecture while unsurprisingly also remaining German in a few crucial areas.

Here are the main elements:

Denmark to drop ‘frugal’ stance on EU budget to counter threat from Russia The Danish leader argued that Europe needs more funds to bolster its defenses and counter the threat from Russia.

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said yesterday she is ready to abandon her country's traditionally thrifty stance on the EU budget in the face of the threat posed by Russia.

Maybe I am missing something but what would be the (legal) basis for a reallocation of RRF money to defense?

More funds will be redirected from EU cohesion funds. After the Recovery and Resilience Facility, this seems to the next step away from a conventional understanding of cohesion policy in the TFEU.

Commission president Von der Leyen has just said she wants to activate a "escape clause for defense investment" in the EU fiscal rules. Such a clause does not exist. An overview onwhat it could mean and why we are entering (another) risky field here:

Looks like national ownership is here to stay, after all
