Can Third Country Nationals Be Banned From Schengen? Assessing Member State Unilateral Measures Against Russian Citizens and the Commission's Response
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 led the European Union (EU) to take several measures to support Ukraine and sanction Russia. Still further measures have been discussed, including the question of whether Russians, and especially Russian tourists, should be banned from travelling in the Schengen area. Such a ban is supported by several member states but opposed by the majority, as well as the European Commission. Nevertheless, beginni…
Framing enlargement after the Russian invasion of Ukraine: Between Geopolitical Drivers and Procedural Roadblocks
Pushing the EU's Boundaries: Enlargement and Foreign Policy Actorness after the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
On 23 June 2022, the European Council, acting on the Commission's recommendation, granted Ukraine the status of a candidate for European Union (EU) membership. This decision came only 4 months after Ukraine submitted its application, which, in turn, came less than a week after Russia's full-scale invasion of the country on 24 February 2022. The granting of candidate status was emblematic of the EU's strong support for Ukraine in the face of Russi…
Europe's constitutional unsettlement: Testing the Political Limits of Legal Integration
Law is central to what the European Union is and how it works, but the mismatch between the legal and political dimensions of European integration is undermining the EU from within and limiting its ability to project its power beyond its borders. This article aims to explicate the clash between Europe as a community of law, on the one hand, and Europe as a political project, on the other, by focusing on two crises. The first is the crisis that ha…

Wilful Non‐Compliance and the Threat of Disintegration in the EU’s Legal Order
This article focuses on the problem of wilful non‐compliance with EU law and the threat it poses of (partial) disorderly disintegration within the EU’s legal order. Taking the example of migration and asylum policy following on from the 2015 migration crisis, I positdifferentiated integration (DI), which occurs through processes that are formally mediated and collective, andnon‐compliance, which is unmediated and unilateral, as alternative strate…
From the rule of law to the rule of rules: Technocracy and the crisis of EU governance
This article focuses on two trends emerging through the eurozone crisis, both of which diminish the quality of democracy in the EU and its member states. Firstly, the crisis has led to an increased reliance on non-majoritarian institutions, such as the ECB, at the expense of democratic accountability. Secondly, the crisis has led to a new emphasis on coercive enforcement at the expense of the voluntary cooperation that previously characterised (a…
Integration through the disintegration of law? The ECB and EU constitutionalism in the crisis
Rather than halting European integration, the euro crisis, in some ways, has accelerated it. However, it is integration of a different type, which departs significantly from the rule of law-based model of integration that traditionally burnished the European Union's legitimacy. The crisis-induced transformation of the European Central Bank (ECB) captures this trend. Through schemes such as Outright Monetary Transactions, the Bank bolstered its ca…
Can the EU’s constitutional framework accommodate democratic politics
The robustness of the EU’s constitutional framework – and its ability to accommodate democratic politics – is challenged as never before. The growing disconnect between formally democratic procedures and substantive choice is well illustrated by the Greek crisis. Since its first bailout in May 2010, Greece has held four general elections and a referendum. Yet, the anti-austerity preferences of the Greek electorate have not been effectively transl…
Domestication of the Euro Crisis: Legal and Political Manifestations of Euroscepticism in Germany
The euro crisis points towards the limits of the post-war pro-European integration consensus in Germany, a trend that has manifested itself in both the legal and political realms. In the legal arena, the powerful German Constitutional Court (GCC) has heard complaints on several key rescue measures, including the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and the European Central Bank’s (ECB) bond buying programme. The Court’s ruminations on these initiat…
When Failure isn't Failure: European Union Constitutionalism after the Lisbon Treaty
The Constitutional Treaty's attempt to turn the peoples of Europe into a much more coherent citizenry, bound together by a common identity, was not successful. Moreover, its failure greatly damaged the federalist cause. Member States retain significant power to constrain supranational agendas in the post‐Lisbon Treaty European Union
