My piece proposing a typology of populist regionalism has finally found a home!
Published in @jei-publication.bsky.social (47, 8), it examines how populists manage regional integration once in power, identifying four distinct pathways.

The technocracy-responsiveness nexus in EU policy-making Debates over EU policy-making often depict the EU either as an unresponsive technocracy or as responsive despite constraints. Yet these two images are not unrelated. First, the increased focus of E...

Read my @jei-publication.bsky.social review article on two bold accounts of contemporary European integration by Sergio Fabbrini and Ulrich Haltern. The former calls for a federalist alternative for Europe, the latter remains cautious with regard to treaty reform.

Controlling European money for failing banks: designing the European Stability Mechanism as banking union’s financial backstop

In our recent article in @jei-publication.bsky.social David Howarth and I analyse the ESM's role as backstop to the SRF. Our finding illustrates that the inclusion of the permanence of legal framework clause in the ESM's treaty reform has the potential to undermine QMV in banking union.

Morning Bluesky.

Canada is ditching plans to buy 88 F-35A fighter jets from the US because of Trump. The order was worth $19 billion.

Defence Minister Bill Blair says they’re now actively seeking replacements.

Investors dare to imagine a world beyond the dollar The US could dismantle its own exorbitant privilege by pushing the big bond market beasts into the arms of others

If the EU could seize this moment, and issue eurobonds, “it would tap in to a deep well of willing buyers keen to trim US exposure”

Vance knew what he was doing. The aim was to provoke. They succeeded. Likelihood of a ceasefire was already in the balance because Putin won't agree to one. Now they can blame the weaker party, which is what they want. Blame Ukraine and possibly Europe for the failure. Dark times
