Now out in Transfer (@etui.bsky.social): my article on the implementation of the minimum wage directive. In October 2022, the EU adopted this landmark piece of social policy to ensure fair pay and strengthen collective bargaining. What impact has it had so far? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

New 📝 out in @reggovjournal.bsky.social 1. Governments are taking a more active role in education and training 2. Linking technical issues to politically salient debates, such as climate change and digitalization, helps open the door to new public policies onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

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)
