EU industrial policy as back-to-front industrial policy
Industrial policy is a substantial enterprise that goes to refashioning the structures of economic activity to realise public goals. To that end, it historically relies on a State-industry resettlement that recasts State-industry relations. This resettlement also generates the economic knowledge that is a prerequisite for achieving these goals and sets out new forms of collective action to stymy change. However, until the 2024 reforms incorporati…

The Regional Remaking of Trade and Investment Law
Regional trade agreements (RTAs) are reshaping the international regime on trade and investments. This is not because they establish new forms of liberalizing or diverting trade and investment. It is rather that narratives are deployed to justify their government. These narratives derive their force from setting out what the vocation of government requires. However, in turn, they inform the remit of the RTA by setting out its mission. In this, th…
Regional Organizations and the Reintegrating of International Law
Regional organizations range from geographically dispersed, weakly institutionalized organizations to organizations like the European Union (EU). This diversity is a reflection of their ubiquity. As of 1 May 2018, the World Trade Organization (WTO) acknowledged that there were 287 regional trading arrangements in force.1 This idea has been picked up for some time in political science. At least since the pioneering work of Peter Katzenstein, the (…
Brexit and the renaissance of parliamentary authority
With the promised return of Parliamentary powers, Brexit is supposed to be a fillip for representative democracy. There is a significant danger that will not be so. EU membership weakened the conditions for representative democracy within those fields governed by the EU. Whitehall will almost be the central player in the reform of EU-derived law. And policy styles are being developed which marginalise rather than consolidate UK legislatures in th…
András Jakab, European Constitutional Language
The European constitutional idea sits at something of a juncture. There are signs of germination. National constitutional courts regularly refer to the judgments of other constitutional courts—if not as precedents, then certainly as authorities. The European Court of Human Rights has produced a fair number of significant fundamental rights judgments each year for some time. It has been joined in the last few years by the European Court of Justice…
Alternatives to EU Membership and the Rational Imagination
The domestic scenario following a Brexit vote is likely to be characterised by high stakes, uncertainty and fissile political debate. No off‐the‐peg arrangement touted for Brexit—be it Norwegian, Swiss, Turkish or Canadian—was designed to engage with such a context. Nor does it seem wise to rush to medium‐term commitments which might pre‐empt democratic politics and wise choices. Far more important will be the legitimacy of any institutional sett…
The Oxford Handbook of European Union Law
"Since its formation the European Union has expanded beyond all expectations. This expansion seems set to continue as more countries seek accession and the scope of EU law expands, touching more and more aspects of its citizens' lives. The EU has never been stronger and yet it now appears to be reaching a crisis point, beset on all sides by conflict and challenges to its legitimacy. Nationalist sentiment is on the rise and the Eurozone crisis has…
What Van Gend en Loos Stands For (Abstract only)
Three transformational developments flowed from Van Gend en Loos: the central symbols and ideals of EU law; an autonomous legal order with more power than traditional treaties; and a system of individual rights and duties. The judgment also set out how each of these developments was to be deployed. The symbols and ideals were set out to proclaim EU authority rather than to go to what the EU did. What the EU did was, above all, government through …
The reference points of EU judicial politics
Explanations of the dynamics of EU judicial politics must also account for its incidence, namely when and in which sectors litigation of EU law and ECJ judgments occur. This incidence, it is suggested relies on a relationship between three arenas, those for norm-setting, litigation and judgments, as events in each of these arena conditions possibilities for action in the others. This paper analyses the relationship between these arenas through a …
Food for Thought’
The European Food Safety Authority marks a new stage in European Union governance. It has no direct regulatory powers, but is entrusted with developing norms of food safety, which are to inform the material content of EC food law. The hope is that its independence and expertise will restore popular confidence both in the EU and in the food we eat. The irreducible nature of lay‐expert conflicts about hazard suggests that a more likely scenario is …
