seems groundbreaking though that they are interested in substance over standing.

The project investigates how the EU evolves between competence and control - examining agencies, staffing patterns and more. From populist influence and constitutional courts to joint procurement for vaccines and energy - ReConfEU investigates the forces shaping Europe’s institutional future.

BIG NEWS!

We’re excited to announce the website launch for our multi-annual research project “Reconfiguring Europe: Between Competence and Control” led by Prof. Markus Jachtenfuchs and coordinated by the Jacques Delors Centre at the @hertieschool.bsky.social.

In my chapter for the forthcoming Palgrave Handbook of Dissensus over Liberal Democracy in Europe, I argue that the dissensus over the ECB's policies focused on contesting the symptoms, instead of the cause of the problem: the myth of central bank independence. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

dear academia! Does anyone perhaps have access to this paper? Big thanks! www.inderscienceonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

read this pretty much in one breath, a great piece. We should all do more history.

Quote from our published article by author Jennifer Orlando-Salling: “New pathways towards understanding the rule of law’s deficiencies emerge from investigating contexts “upwards” or from below, problematising the rule of law’s imperial and colonial blind spots.”

In our newest contribution to our symposium “Controversies over Methods in EU Law II” JENNIFER ORLANDO-SALLING explores how decolonial approaches in European Law offer a constructive space towards dialogue and reconstruction.

I have spent so many procrastination minutes zooming in and out of this border at various times, and also heard Covid times stories about half a shop being under quarantine, and the other half being open...crazy.

Yes, we should talk about class. Maria Tzanakopoulou in the first contribution to drop from our Marxism and EU Law symposium.

Imagining transnational solidarity in the EU through Hegel’s idea of mutual recognition How do EU constitutional scholars define solidarity? For the most part, solidarity is used as a political soundbite for something that is generally seen as ‘good’ or normatively desirable.

How do #EU constitutional scholars define #solidarity - and what does #Hegel have to do with it? In a #NewPaper, @anabobic.bsky.social reflects upon the approach towards solidarity in EU #law and revisits Hegel's idea of mutual recognition. Read the paper here 👉 www.delorscentre.eu/en/publicati...

might be wrong too. Could be one of those books everyone pretends to have read :) Certainly nobody took any lessons from it...

really? I feel like everyone knows about it, read it, loves it, but just pretends it's not about them.

"someone Hans Fallada warned us about"?

this might help I think?

Socialism is not Liberal Moralism on Steroids Socialists don’t need to appeal to morality and justice. Unlike liberals and conservatives, they can point out how the world works, and how our political imagination is constrained as a result.

The ECB is an endless source of academic commentary - very happy I was part of this multidisciplinary special issue, that covers a truly broad range of perspectives on the ever-growing influence that the ECB has on the lives of everyone living in the EU.
