The recent set of crises that struck the EU have highlighted fundamental problems in the ways and means by which European integration unfolds. The quasi-authoritarian emergency politics deployed in the euro crisis is a radical expression of the fading prevalence of democratic processes to accommodate economic and social diversity in the Union. As we argue in this paper, however, the mainstreams in both disciplines retain a largely affirmative and apologetic stance on the EU's post-democratic and extra-constitutional development. While political science contributions mostly content themselves with a revival of conventional integration theories and thus turn a blind eye to normatively critical aspects of European crisis governance, legal scholarship is in short supply of normatively convincing theoretical paradigms and thus aligns itself with the functionalist reasoning of the EU's Court of Justice. Yet, we also identify critical peripheries in both disciplines which intersect in their critical appraisal of the authoritarian tendencies that inhere in the crisis-ridden state of European integration. Their results curb the prevailing optimism and underline that the need for fundamental reorientations in both the theory and practice of European integration has become irrefutable.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Joerges, author = {Joerges, Christian}, title = {Emergency Governance through the Legalization of Technocratic Rule and the Idea of a Treaty on the Democratization of the Governance of the EURO AreaEmergency Governance through the Legalization of Technocratic Rule and the Idea of a Treaty on the Democratization of the Governance of the EURO Area}, language = {en} } @article{Joerges, author = {Joerges, Christian}, title = {Si tacuisses, philosopus mansisses: Why the OMT Controversy is Undecidable}, series = {Ordines}, journal = {Ordines}, edition = {2}, issn = {2421-0730}, abstract = {In this article, the controversy between the European Court of Justice and the German Federal Constitutional Court over the Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT) Programme remains in the background.

In this the Author focuses his attention on the two dissenting opinions by judges L{\"u}bbe-Wolff and Gerhardt.

The move towards mega-regional trade agreements, as heralded by the controversies over the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA), has greatly accentuated grievances and is therefore of exemplary importance in the realms of transnational governance. Based on the theoretical frameworks of Karl Polanyi and Dani Rodrik, we examine the decoupling of these agreements from national and democratic control and the resulting legitimacy impasses of transnational governance. Arguing that politics is not a mistake that gets in the way of markets, we submit our own conceptualization of transnational legitimacy. In doing so we suggest a new type of conflicts law which does not seek to overcome socio-economic and political diversity by some substantive transnational regime but responds to diversity with procedural safeguards, thus ensuring space for cooperative problem-solving and the search for fair compromises.}, language = {en} } @incollection{JoergesEverson, author = {Joerges, Christian and Everson, Michelle}, title = {Between Constitutional Command and Technocratic Rule: Post Crisis Governance and the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance ("The Fiscal Compact")}, series = {Research Handbook on EU Administrative Law}, booktitle = {Research Handbook on EU Administrative Law}, editor = {Harlow, Carol and Leino, P{\"a}ivi and della Cananea, Giacinto}, isbn = {9781784710675}, doi = {10.4337/9781784710682}, pages = {161 -- 187}, language = {en} } @article{Joerges, author = {Joerges, Christian}, title = {Il diritto privato nella politica economica europea dopo la crisi finanziaria}, series = {Politica del diritto}, journal = {Politica del diritto}, number = {2}, edition = {48}, pages = {197 -- 229}, abstract = {Business as usual in European private law after the crisis? By no means, this essay argues, private law scholars should become aware that their discipline is deeply affected, albeit more indirectly than in particular in constitutional law, labour law and social law. The crisis has brought to the fore design failure of theory and practice which had remained latent for decades, the most significant substantive being the equation of legal progress with ever more uniformity of formerly national legal orders. The analytical basis of this error is the neglect of the political dimension of markets and their functioning which is reconstructed with the help of Karl Polanyi's economic sociology. In such perspectives it become apparent that the commitment of European private law to market rationality was a Utopian project, which is at odds with the social functions and normative credentials of private law in constitutional democracies. These tensions are aggravating after the quest for competitiveness has become Europe's new 'leitmotif' whic is being pursued rigorously through authoritarian austerity politics against Europe's South. To what degree the new modes of economic governance require formal legal changes in the realms of private law, is of little avail. They damage the societal infrastructures of post-formalist legal ordering. They essay also submits a Polony-inspired counter-vision of market integration and pleads for a defense of social accomplishments through law against authoritarian interventions.}, language = {it} } @incollection{ChalmersJachtenfuchsJoerges, author = {Chalmers, Damian and Jachtenfuchs, Markus and Joerges, Christian}, title = {The Retransformation of Europe}, series = {The End of the Eurocrats' Dream}, booktitle = {The End of the Eurocrats' Dream}, editor = {Chalmers (et al.), Damian}, isbn = {978-1-107-10718-2}, publisher = {Hertie School}, pages = {1 -- 28}, language = {en} }
