  • The polycrisis and EU security and defence competences

    Open Access•Catherine Hoeffler, Stephanie C Hofmann et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of European Public Policy•2024

    From the 2009 sovereign debt crisis to the 2022 Russian full-scale war in Ukraine, the EU has experienced a succession of intersecting crises, or a ‘polycrisis’. We examine how this polycrisis has impacted the EU’s role in security and defence. While the EU’s competences in security and defence have long suffered from disagreements among member states, they have shown notable developments since Brexit, and most importantly, since the 2022 war in …

  • The Commissioner vs the states: Responsiveness and responsibility in European tax governance

    Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•Journal of European Public Policy•2024•Cited by: 4•References: 29

    The European Union is the only international organisation that has a parliament where taxation is debated and legislated on. Along with foreign affairs and defense, however, taxation is also one of the few policy areas that is subject to unanimity voting among member-states. This creates a responsiveness-responsibility dilemma that the European Commission has tried to navigate by constructing responsiveness to public demands for tax justice as a …

  • Digital sovereignty, economic ideas, and the struggle over the digital markets act: A Political-Cultural Approach

    Catherine Hoeffler, Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•Journal of European Public Policy•2024•Cited by: 13•References: 38

    Digital market regulations respond to technological changes and global dynamics, but also to how political actors shape markets. Focusing on the Digital Markets Act, this article explains the EU's marketcraft as the result of a struggle in the policy field between political actors promoting competing economic ideas in a rapidly evolving technological and geopolitical context. We show that significant discursive and policy change in digital market…

  • Political work in the stability and growth pact

    Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•Journal of European Public Policy•2022•Cited by: 20•References: 17

    While most scholars analyze European Union politicization as a process that shapes public opinion, little attention has been paid to political strategies. In this article, I focus on politicization as an outcome of political work, the practice of carving out a space for agency in an environment that is constrained by institutional rules and intergovernmental power structures. Through an ethnographic analysis of the Juncker Commission's implementa…

    Open Access•Achim Hurrelmann, Frederic Merand et al.•ARTICLE•Canadian Journal of Political…•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 44

    Close relations with Europe, especially but not only with the United Kingdom, have long been a consensual tenet of Canadian foreign policy, which has supported European integration since the 1970s. The UK's withdrawal from the European Union threatens to upset this consensus. While Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has consistently cast Brexit in a negative light, Conservative leaders Andrew Scheer and Erin O'Toole have commented positively o…

  • In Search of Lost Time: Memory‐framing, Bilateral Identity‐making, and European Security

    Open Access•Stephanie C Hofmann, Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•JCMS Journal of Common Market…•2020•Cited by: 20•References: 38

    Bilateral relations between France and either Germany or the UK are the backbone of European security and defence cooperation. From a strategic and cultural point of view, these relations are not self‐evident. In this article, we track the memory‐framing processes accompanying the creation of major bilateral initiatives. Leaders such as Adenauer and De Gaulle, Mitterrand and Kohl, Blair and Chirac, and Sarkozy and Cameron imagined bilateral commu…

  • Conflict and cooperation between Europe and Russia: The Autonomy of the Local

    Maria Dembinska, Magdalena Dembinska et al.•ARTICLE•East European Politics•2020•Cited by: 4•References: 34

    This paper takes a bottom-up perspective on the "boundary issues" that emerged between the EU and Russia with and since the end of the Cold War: the mobility of people and goods, energy and natural resources, security, and protection of minorities. This paper compares three zones of contact: Estonia, Moldova and Kaliningrad. Our starting point is that there is not a European-Russian relationship, but Russian European relations that vary according…

  • Theorising cooperation and conflict in Euro-Russian relations

    Frederic Merand, Maria Dembinska et al.•ARTICLE•East European Politics•2020•Cited by: 1•References: 38

    When thinking about Euro-Russian relations, IR scholars focus on why conflict has replaced cooperation. The "geostrategic debate" excludes the possible coexistence of cooperation and conflict. In this Introduction to the special issue, we track the evolution of conflict and cooperation patterns in three zones of contact (Estonia, Kaliningrad, Moldova) between 1991 and 2016. Our findings show that, although the standard narrative remains compellin…

  • Qu’est-ce que l’Europe politique: Un agenda de recherche sur la politisation

    Laurie Beaudonnet, Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•Politique européenne•2019•Cited by: 6•References: 49

    Pendant longtemps, vouloir « plus d’Europe » signifiait y faire « plus de politique ». Depuis quelques années, cette vision optimiste est contestée par les chercheurs qui voient dans l’Europe politique un risque autant qu’une chance. Cet article introductif au numéro thématique explore la politisation de l’UE d’un point de vue empirique. Dans un premier temps, nous revenons sur les définitions de la politisation : un enjeu est politisé lorsqu’il …

  • Defense and Security Policy

    Bastien Irondelle, Jean Joana et al.•BOOK•Oxford Handbook of French Politics•2017

    This chapter examines what the international literature tells us about French security and defense policy, but also what the French case teaches us about this literature. French scholarship on security and defense policy has demonstrated three main trends: the legacy of Charles de Gaulle’s vision and policies, a strongly policy-oriented production, and the influence of sociological approaches in French political science more generally. These tren…

  • Diplomatic Practices, Domestic Fields, and the International System: Explaining France’s Shift on Nuclear Nonproliferation

    Florent Pouponneau, Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•International Studies Quarterly•2017•Cited by: 13•References: 22

    France took a hardline stance against Tehran’s nuclear program. Yet for several decades, the French government adopted a softer line with regard to nonproliferation. France was the last permanent member of the UN Security Council to ratify the 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). In the 1960s and 1970s, Paris sold nuclear facilities to Israel, Iran, and Iraq, some of which had potential military uses. Why did France change its policy on nonprolif…

  • Avions de combat: Pourquoi n’y a-t-il pas d’européanisation

    Catherine Hoeffler, Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•Politique européenne•2015•Cited by: 1•References: 12

    Cet article interroge les limites de « l’européanisation sans l’Union européenne » (Irondelle, 2003) dans le secteur des avions de combat en Europe. Partant de l’observation selon laquelle les gouvernements européens divisent leurs achats entre quatre appareils (Eurofighter Typhoon, Gripen, Rafale et JSF F-35), il propose une analyse comparée des processus décisionnels nationaux. Plus spécifiquement, nous avançons l’idée que les choix en matière …

  • Towards a better operationalisation of strategic culture: A rejoinder to Endres, Mader and Schoen

    We welcome the constructive remarks made by Fabian Endres, Matthias Mader and Harald Schoen (hereafter EMS), who push our collective research agenda on public opinion and strategic culture forward. There are too few attempts at replication in social science. Although their comment largely supports the main conclusions of our article, they also point to a number of conceptual disagreements and even a data management error that deserve a discussion…

  • Public support for E uropean defence: Does strategic culture matter

    This article identifies previously ignored determinants of public support for the E uropean U nion's security and defence ambitions. In contrast to public opinion vis‐à‐vis the EU in general, the literature on attitudes towards a putative E uropean army or the existing Common Security and Defence Policy ( CSDP ) suggests that the explanatory power of sociodemographic and economic variables is weak, and focuses instead on national identity as the …

  • Politique de défense et variétés du militarisme libéral

    Jean Joana, Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•Gouvernement et action publique•2014

    Les études consacrées aux transformations qu’ont connu les politiques de défense depuis une trentaine d’années dans les démocraties occidentales ont mis l’accent sur l’impact des facteurs technologiques ou stratégiques. Sans nier l’importance de ces facteurs, le propos de cet article est de souligner que ces évolutions découlent aussi de changements politiques et sociaux qui ont pesé sur la définition des enjeux de la politique de défense. Dans l…

    Maya Jegen, Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•West European Politics•2013•Cited by: 40•References: 9

    This article explores the paradox of constructive ambiguity. Based on a focused, longitudinal comparison of the European Union's energy and defence policies, it analyses the role played by strategies of ambiguity in European integration. Ambiguity is found to be an attractive strategy for political entrepreneurs when member state preferences are heterogeneous and the EU's legal basis is weak. It is likely to be effective, however, only if it is e…

    Historically associated with transatlantic discords about Atlantic alliance, burden-sharing is a term that comes and goes on policy agenda.1 Last year, Robert Gates made headlines when he chastised most of his European counterparts for not shouldering enough of burden in NATO -led operation in Libya. Evoking spectre of a two-tiered made up of those willing and able to pay price and bear burdens of alliance commitments, and those who enjoy benefit…

    A growing number of scholars argue that the development of the common security and defence policy (CSDP) should be analysed as the institutionalization of a system of security governance. Although governance approaches carry the promise of a sophisticated, empirically grounded picture of CSDP, they have been criticized for their lack of attention to power. This is because governance approaches focus on institutional rules and ideas rather than th…

  • Globalization or Europeanization? Evidence on the European Economy Since 1980

    Open Access•Neil Fligstein, Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•Acta Sociologica•2002•Cited by: 38•References: 10

    At the core of the European Union, has been the gradual creation of the "single market" across western Europe. The European Union began as the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and expanded to become the European Economic Community (EEC). The original intent of the ECSC was to stabilize the production of steel across Europe in order to prevent ruinous competition. The EEC formed to expand the activities of the alliance to cooperation in ag…

  • Pierre Bourdieu and the Birth of European Defense

    Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•Security Studies•2010•Cited by: 30

    This paper uses an analytical framework derived from Pierre Bourdieu's sociology to explain the genesis of the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP). Long-term social and institutional processes at work in the making of ESDP are addressed through an emphasis on the institutionalization of social fields, the impact of structural crises, and the socialization of policy makers into specific schemes of perception and action (habitus). Two argum…

    International relations theory has a disturbing tendency to treat states as though they were homogenous entities. Thus, realists and liberals alike speak of a national interest determined by a state's geopolitical or economic situation. Constructivists, for their part, talk about a relatively stable national identity fashioned by a country's culture, history, and external relations. These labels are never innocuous: although they endow the intern…

  • La force européenne au Tchad et en Centrafrique: Le Baptême Du Feu

    Frederic Merand, Haingo Mireille Rakotonirina•ARTICLE•Politique africaine•2009•Cited by: 1•References: 4

    L’Union européenne peut-elle être un acteur stratégique et neutre en Afrique subsaharienne ? L’Eufor Tchad/RCA est l’opération militaire la plus difficile engagée par l’UE depuis le lancement de sa Politique européenne de sécurité et de défense (Pesd), en 1998. Dressant un bilan de cette opération officiellement bouclée en mars 2009, cet article vise à éclairer les principaux enjeux auxquels l’Eufor a été confrontée. Après avoir esquissé le conte…

  • Pierre Bourdieu and the Birth of European Defense

    Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•Security Studies•2010•Cited by: 30

    This paper uses an analytical framework derived from Pierre Bourdieu's sociology to explain the genesis of the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP). Long-term social and institutional processes at work in the making of ESDP are addressed through an emphasis on the institutionalization of social fields, the impact of structural crises, and the socialization of policy makers into specific schemes of perception and action (habitus). Two argum…

  • Governance and State Power: A Network Analysis of European Security

    Open Access•Frederic Merand, Stephanie C Hofmann et al.•ARTICLE•JCMS Journal of Common Market…•2011•Cited by: 47•References: 31

    A growing number of scholars argue that the development of the common security and defence policy (CSDP) should be analysed as the institutionalization of a system of security governance. Although governance approaches carry the promise of a sophisticated, empirically grounded picture of CSDP, they have been criticized for their lack of attention to power. This is because governance approaches focus on institutional rules and ideas rather than th…

  • Transatlantic Relations in the New Strategic Landscape: Implications for Canada

    Open Access•David G Haglund, Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•International Journal Canada s…•2011•Cited by: 1

    Security policy is the area in which Canada's growing estrangement from Europe is the most visible. While political and cultural affinities between the former Franco- British colony and the old continent remain strong, and while trade relations are again high on the agenda with the negotiation of an economic agreement, Canada's status has changed, in fewer than 20 years, from power - with several thousand troops stationed in Europe between 1952 a…

  • Europe's Place in Canadian Strategic Culture (1949-2009)

    Open Access•Frederic Merand, Antoine Vandemoortele•ARTICLE•International Journal Canada s…•2011•Cited by: 2

    International relations theory has a disturbing tendency to treat states as though they were homogenous entities. Thus, realists and liberals alike speak of a national interest determined by a state's geopolitical or economic situation. Constructivists, for their part, talk about a relatively stable national identity fashioned by a country's culture, history, and external relations. These labels are never innocuous: although they endow the intern…

  • The Challenge of Burden-Sharing

    Open Access•Martial Foucault, Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•International Journal Canada s…•2012•Cited by: 6

    Historically associated with transatlantic discords about Atlantic alliance, burden-sharing is a term that comes and goes on policy agenda.1 Last year, Robert Gates made headlines when he chastised most of his European counterparts for not shouldering enough of burden in NATO -led operation in Libya. Evoking spectre of a two-tiered made up of those willing and able to pay price and bear burdens of alliance commitments, and those who enjoy benefit…

  • Constructive Ambiguity: Comparing the EU’s Energy and Defence Policies

    Maya Jegen, Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•West European Politics•2013•Cited by: 40•References: 9

    This article explores the paradox of constructive ambiguity. Based on a focused, longitudinal comparison of the European Union's energy and defence policies, it analyses the role played by strategies of ambiguity in European integration. Ambiguity is found to be an attractive strategy for political entrepreneurs when member state preferences are heterogeneous and the EU's legal basis is weak. It is likely to be effective, however, only if it is e…

  • Politique de défense et variétés du militarisme libéral

    Jean Joana, Frederic Merand•ARTICLE•Gouvernement et action publique•2014

    Les études consacrées aux transformations qu’ont connu les politiques de défense depuis une trentaine d’années dans les démocraties occidentales ont mis l’accent sur l’impact des facteurs technologiques ou stratégiques. Sans nier l’importance de ces facteurs, le propos de cet article est de souligner que ces évolutions découlent aussi de changements politiques et sociaux qui ont pesé sur la définition des enjeux de la politique de défense. Dans l…
