I’m excited to share that my first book came out this summer! The book looks at how EU state aid cases become politicised (and de-politicised) and what this means for the EU’s legitimacy. At its core, the book shows how competition policy is never just technical, but also deeply political.

The Brazilian Supreme Court is fearless in the face of sanctions -and will ensure that the trial of Bolsonaro stays on track. Trump is once again attempting to obstruct justice when it comes to holding former presidents accountable. www.reuters.com/world/americ...
Brazil's Justice Moraes ignores US sanctions, says he will continue doing his job
Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing a criminal case against an ally of President Donald Trump, told a court session on Friday that he will continue to do his job and "ignore the sanctions" imposed by the United States that effectively block him from the country's wide-reaching financial system.

Le compte officiel de l'ambassade des Etats-Unis en France en vient désormais à nier l'importance des *faits* dans une démocratie.

Et emprunte le phrasé habituel (« élites mondiales ») des complotistes de tous poils.

Quelle incroyable déchéance sans fin pour un tel pays.

Wow. A group of top scholars at Harvard just sent a letter to its president, Alan Garber, warning against surrendering to Trump.

Signatories include Steven Levitsky, Dani Rodrik, Ryan Enos, Theda Skocpol, and Steven Walt.

Someone forwarded it to me. Read it here:

"What constitutional protections should be afforded to speech authored by artificial intelligence?", a new blog by Marin Roger Scordato, author of After the Realist Revolution (out now)

#LawSky 💙📚 #jurisprudence

What constitutional protections should be afforded to speech authored by artificial intelligence?

Norway is facing a similar challenge to its long-term policy of remaining outside the EU as Finland and Sweden did with their stance on NATO, writes @alanderminna.bsky.social.
To join or not to join? Norway is edging closer to the EU
Trump’s trade war has brought Norway even closer to the EU and increased the urgency for it to make a decision about membership.

Michigan's decision to roll back DEI has to be understood as part of a larger effort to force universities into ideological submission.

From @scottlgreer.bsky.social and I in the Detroit Free Press.
University of Michigan caved to Donald Trump on DEI programs | Opinion
Trump's attacks on DEI at University of Michigan is part of a larger deployment of misinformation and government threats to weaken universities.

Here's a story from South Korea that can inspire the "Hands Off!" events taking place in the United States: how a mix of street protests and responsive democratic institutions prevailed in a political crisis.
How ​South Korea’s Democracy Prevailed Over a Reckless Leader (Gift Article)
The rise and fall of Yoon Suk Yeol exposed a vulnerability in South Korean democracy, but also a resilience. Its people were always ready to fight for it.
