EU trade policy in the twenty-first century
This is the introduction to a special collection of contributions that analyse key features of the European Union's (EU) trade policy in the twenty-first century, notably its politicization. As such, it examines the degree to which EU trade policy and its environment have changed over the last 20 years. More specifically, it begins with a brief review of the main changes to the structure of international trade and the resulting impacts on trade a…
European integration and the crisis
This is the introduction to a special collection of contributions that analyse the financial and economic crisis through various theoretical lenses. Accordingly, it does four things. First, it describes the EU's institutional response to the crisis in order to provide a reference point for the contributions. Second, it summarizes the contributions. Third, it compares them in order to develop a theoretical dialogue. Finally, it answers the fundame…
All in
The behaviour of sovereign bond investors stands at the heart of the euro area debt crisis. By pushing upward the yields on the government debts of member states standing in the eurozone's periphery, investors caused, in a self-fulfilling way, the crisis that ultimately threatened the eurozone's integrity and the euro's survival. So how do we explain the behaviour of market investors before, during and after the eurozone's sovereign debt crisis? …
Closing the deal
Why have the negotiations of a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union taken so long? We argue that the delay is in good part the result of a weakly designed process for intergovernmental decision making: the role for provincial and territorial governments in international trade negotiations is still too limited and does not extend to final decisions about the text of any agreement. The limited role…

Canada, the European Union, and Transatlantic Financial Governance
The focus of economic relations between Canada and Europe - and more specifically, the European Union - is usually on trade and investment, not finance. This has been true since at least the 1970s when Canada's was in vogue, the third option being the idea that Canada should expand and deepen its trade relations with Europe so as to reduce its economic dependence on the United States.1 More recently, the negotiation of a comprehensive economic an…
EU, US and international accounting standards
Although the European Union (EU) has been a key global actor in international trade governance since the 1960s, it held no such position in international financial governance until the new millennium. Accounting standards represent one important area of international finance where the EU has finally taken a leadership position alongside the United States, as a result of its adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and its c…
European Financial Integration
The recent history of financial integration in Europe can generally be considered a success story, notwithstanding the crisis that has plagued financial sectors in Europe and elsewhere since 2007. There has been significant progress in the area of regulatory integration; however, an in-depth analysis requires also taking into account what happens on the ground – that is, at the market level. As a consequence of this larger and more interactive po…
The Other Transatlantic Relationship
Canada was the first country with which the European Union signed a cooperation agreement in 1976. Since then, Canada and the EU have gradually extended their cooperation in a number of social and economic areas, though not as much as originally intended. More recently, they have decided to launch negotiations for an extensive economic partnership agreement that aims at the creation of a wider transatlantic partnership, which would include the Un…

Is My Crown Better than Your Euro
This article examines the influence of exchange rate fluctuations on public support for the euro. Existing studies of the two euro referendums in Denmark and Sweden have explained the outcomes primarily in terms of static factors, thereby ignoring the fact that support fluctuates over time. This article provides an analysis of the short-term dynamics in public support for the euro in the period leading up to the referendums. We argue that exchang…
The Fog of Integration
The main theories of European economic integration argue that private economic interests provide the impetus and pressures for integration to move forward. Public policy analyses of the European Union's legislative process, however, show that intense lobbying by such interests can prevent legislative proposals from being adopted, even if economic interests were initially in favour of supranational legislation. How do we explain this apparent cont…

The Political Stability and Growth Pact is Dead
Euro area countries suspended the excessive deficit procedure (EDP) of the Stability and Growth Pact in November 2003. Surprisingly perhaps, long‐term European government bond‐holders did not react: yields barely moved. Owing to its political nature, the EDP does not matter for investors. What matters is the implicit economic pact that investors have made with Member State governments
Globalization and World Insecurity
Ever since the terrorist attacks in September 2001, there have been intense discussions about the causes of terrorism—the latest major security threat faced by states in the post-Cold War era. One of the main causes mentioned has been globalization, however defined. The argument is that globalization leaves a large chunk of the world's population behind economically, socially, and culturally, in both developed and developing countries. As a resul…
Completing the Maastricht Contract
When the Maastricht Treaty on European Union was finally ratified in 1993, many EU observers and participants expressed serious doubts that economic and monetary union (EMU) would ever take place. Nevertheless, five years later EMU took flight, on 1 January 1999, as planned. It is this puzzle that this article seeks to explain. It does so by focusing on how EU institutions completed the incomplete contract agreed by the Member States at Maastrich…
