Just out in @jcms-eu.bsky.social: What can Karl Polanyi's work on the contentious transformations of modern capitalism (still) tell us about European integration? This article examines this long-debated question by zooming in on the EU's recent efforts at labour market (re-)regulation. [1/5]

Dagen klagen over gejoel, maar dit soort omgangsvormen wel heel normaal vinden.

During the past months, I've been working on a debate section for JEPP. I invited a group of scholars with (very) different disciplinary backgrounds and substantive views to revisit Fritz Scharpf's asymmetry thesis, discussing its relevance in the twenty-first-century EU.

I wrote a new Substack! "The quiet collapse of surveys: fewer humans (and more AI agents) are answering survey questions" laurenleek.substack.com/p/the-quiet-...

Made a starter pack for European Politics. Started with 27 profiles (wink wink) on a bit of everything, but feel free to (self-)recommend people to add. go.bsky.app/8UntgMG

Now out: new paper with @rhuguenotnoel.bsky.social. Does the Minimum Wage Directive herald a revival of labour politics at the EU level? Drawing on power resource theory, we argue that it might – but in a way that builds more on 'soft', networked than 'hard', structural bases of power.

Happy to share this new article in European Union Politics, written with @bjarneck.bsky.social. In the paper, we ask: have high and growing levels of income inequality undermined support for the EU, as some have claimed? Existing studies have produced very mixed results in this regard (1/5)

A bsky inaugural post: I'm happy to share this report on the revival of social Europe that davidbokhorst.bsky.social and I wrote for Sieps. We provide a comprehensive overview of recent EU policy initiatives - directives, recommendations, funding and governance reforms - in the social field (1/3)
