The letter and the bond: coalitions, anti-coalitions, and the adoption of the coronabond in the European Union | European Political Science Review | Cambridge Core The letter and the bond: coalitions, anti-coalitions, and the adoption of the coronabond in the European Union

Why did countries back shared EU debt during COVID-19🦠 after rejecting it in the euro crisis?

@tiagomramalho.bsky.social explains how a new “solidarity coalition” formed in 2020 and what it reveals about changing ideas of responsibility in the EU.

A Portuguese Middle-Age Crisis? Fifty years after the democratic transition, Portugal is facing a deep political crisis of which the growth of the extreme right is the most dangerous symptom.

For anyone keen on reading a bit more about Portuguese elections, now that the government fell, I also wrote a short piece on the previous one, which took place one year ago almost to the day. It was published in the Green European Journal.

The European elections in Portugal Second order or second round?

The Portuguese government fell today, after losing a confidence vote in Parliament. We'll have new elections in May.

Also today, my piece on the PT elections for the EU Parliament ('Second Order or Second Round?') was published in Politique Européenne. It can be read here: tinyurl.com/hnh6m5n2

D.C. U.S. attorney tells Georgetown he won’t hire from any school with ‘DEI’ Trump appointee Ed Martin made the claim in a letter to the Georgetown University law school dean. Martin has called the school a “locus” of anti-Trump activity.

"First, have you eliminated all DEI from your school and its curriculum? Second, if DEI is found in your courses or teaching in any way, will you move swiftly to remove it?"

What does this even mean?

In the piece we discuss how the EU response to the pandemic crisis constituted a major reconfiguration of economic governance, as well as a shift in how we think about "responsible" government in the EU.

It's a special issue with great colleagues, so make sure to explore it all!

The state house prices make: the political elasticities of house prices and rents Fiscal policy allocation is not purely determined by the labour-capital conflict, but increasingly around cross-class housing coalitions. Although rising house prices are conventionally understood ...

As engagement has really improved on @bsky.app I'm reposting my latest publication co-authored with @sebastiankohl.bsky.social - we show house prices have positive effects on the fiscal capacity of states to increase public spending on welfare and education www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Relax Germany’s debt brake, says Angela Merkel Former chancellor’s memoirs back reform of borrowing cap that she introduced into constitution

More than a 'ha-ha' moment, this truly should invite debt hawks to think about the profoundly misguided austerity mania of the past 15 years in Europe.

Created this starter pack about a week ago with 27 profiles. Now it only has 27 spots left.

It's a great list of people doing a bit of everything in European Politics (party competition, political economy, integration, public policy).

I'll keep adding people until it's full :)
