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....

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.

verfassungsblog.de/decolonialit...

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.”

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.

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...

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.

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.
