Just out in @jcms-eu.bsky.social:

What can Karl Polanyi's work on the contentious transformations of modern capitalism (still) tell us about European integration? This article examines this long-debated question by zooming in on the EU's recent efforts at labour market (re-)regulation. [1/5]

During the past months, I've been working on a debate section for JEPP. I invited a group of scholars with (very) different disciplinary backgrounds and substantive views to revisit Fritz Scharpf's asymmetry thesis, discussing its relevance in the twenty-first-century EU.

…while the opposite holds for those in more equal Member States, where egalitarian individuals may see further integration as a threat to the existing social equilibrium. Trust in the EU as it currently exists, in contrast, remains lower among egalitarian citizens irrespective of context (4/5)

Happy to share this new article in European Union Politics, written with @bjarneck.bsky.social. In the paper, we ask: have high and growing levels of income inequality undermined support for the EU, as some have claimed? Existing studies have produced very mixed results in this regard (1/5)
