The structural power of finance, the quest for EU safe assets and the prospect of a permanent EU borrowing capacity
Vingt ans après le rejet du TCE
Les investisseur·ses européen·nes et le chemin vers l’union fiscale et budgétaire
La question de l’évolution de l’Union économique et monétaire de l’Union européenne s’est imposée depuis la crise de la zone euro (2010-2012) comme l’un des principaux débats sur l’avenir de l’UE dans son ensemble. En jeu, la question de la politique fiscale et budgétaire : faut-il aller vers une « union fiscale » ou faut-il renforcer les règles qui contraignent les politiques des États membres en la matière ? Cet article soutient que l’UE évolue…
A reinterpretation of EMU history
This article offers a new interpretation of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) history that weaves together three distinct insights. First, EMU development is driven by the policy challenges thrown up by the different types of financial risk generated by the deep-seated structure of macroeconomic imbalances entailed in a single European market. Second, the introduction of a single currency profoundly transformed that financial risk, turning it fro…
Rules or capacity for the EU’s fiscal future? From Werner and McDougall to the present
Purpose The COVID19 crisis has thrown wide open the debate on Europe’s Economic and Monetary Union’s (EMU) future. Next Generation EU (NGEU) has broken the stalemate over a central fiscal capacity. The open question is whether NGEU is a one-off or a first step. The suspension of the Stability and Growth Pact has given new urgency to the debate on reforming EMU’s fiscal rules. Design/methodology/approach There is no debate as yet about how these t…

Fiscal Rules and Federal Capacity in American Fiscal History
Recent comparative fiscal federalism work has noted how the US displays a mix of substantial federal capacity and no federal fiscal rules for sub-federal units as opposed to the EU’s mix of regulation and lack of capacity. The difference is explained by the lack of federal capacity in the EU case, which presumably creates a need for regulation. However, these studies are cross-sectional. This carries the obvious drawback of abstracting the actual…
Federal fiscal capacity and the challenge of the green transition in the EU
The debate on the necessity of a federal fiscal capacity in the EU has featured prominently on the EU’s agenda over the past decade. New Generation EU marks a historic breakthrough in that regard. This breakthrough has been accomplished in order to fulfil macroeconomic stabilization functions, but the bulk of the funding has been earmarked for green transition projects. This paper asks whether a federal budget has added value in relation to the g…
Corporate power and the resolution of the Eurozone crisis
La littérature sur la crise de la zone euro néglige deux caractéristiques déterminantes de la crise, à savoir la tentative initiale de s'appuyer sur l'implication du secteur privé et la répression financière pour faire face aux crises de liquidité dans les États membres. Cet article affirme que ces lacunes découlent du fait que la littérature néglige le concept de pouvoir des entreprises. Il propose une analyse de la manière dont la crise a émerg…
Corporate power and the resolution of the Eurozone crisis
Europe's 'Hamiltonian moment'? On the political uses and explanatory usefulness of a recurrent historical comparison
Published online: 04 November 2021
Corporate reconstructions of federal macroeconomic government institutions compared
This paper is a contribution to the comparative historical literature on the development of American and European federal macroeconomic government institutions, spawned by the 2010–12 Eurozone crisis. The literature has two major shortcomings, namely a lack of agreement on relevant periodization and a lack of causal explanations about the sources of the processes being compared. My claim is that the most relevant comparison is between the first h…
La polarisation des élites administratives et économiques françaises et le conflit sur l'orientation stratégique du capitalisme français
Porter attention aux firmes multinationales permet d'appréhender la mondialisation de manière plus concrète, en soulignant le rôle que jouent les dirigeant.es des grandes entreprises dans les mutations du capitalisme. Si les multinationales ne sont pas apatrides, y a-t-il pour autant un intérêt commun aux multinationales françaises ? Ou bien un intérêt supérieur a-t-il émergé dans le cadre de l'intégration européenne pour unifier les classes poss…
British Capitalism and European Unification, from Ottawa to the Brexit Referendum
British capitalism has from the very beginning entertained an ambivalent relationship with the process of European unification. But that ambivalence has gone through different stages and since the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008 a new, conflictual, stage in that relationship began. This is the essential backdrop against which the Brexit referendum should be understood and its consequences evaluated
The Eurozone crisis and the European corporate elite
This paper uses a framework referred to as the ‘corporate reconstruction of European capitalism theory of integration’ to analyse the European Union’s response to the Eurozone crisis. Most political economy analyses of the Eurozone crisis have focused on political leaders, clashes between creditor and debtor member states and public opinions in analysing the handling of the crisis. This paper focuses instead on the input of corporate actors. It i…
