For the most part, solidarity is used as a political soundbite for something that is generally seen as ‘good’ or normatively desirable. In this paper, I make two arguments. On the one hand, I critically reflect upon the dominant approach in EU law under which solidarity as a principle chiefly governs relations between the Member States. Citizens in the EU are at the moment not a unit of concern for which solidarity produces legal outcomes. On the other, based on Durkheim's work on enlightened self-interest, I show that measures in EU law that invoke solidarity mainly do so on economic grounds and do not allow for the creation of socioeconomic and political bonds between citizens in the EU. I then turn to what solidarity in the EU could be. By revisiting Hegel's idea of mutual recognition as the condition for freedom, I offer a more robust understanding of solidarity. Finally, I offer a brief look into potential areas where solidarity might become a meaningful principle for connecting citizens for non-economic purposes and by offering thoughts on space for further research.

VL - 31 IS - 6 SP - 676 EP - 690 PB - SAGE Publications ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Dawson, Mark A1 - Bobić, Ana T1 - Unpacking Legal Accountability: The Case of the European Central Bank JF - Politics and Governance N2 - Although the term “legal accountability” increasingly appears in scholarly discourse surrounding the European Central Bank (ECB), it is under-theorised. This article explores three different dimensions of legal accountability, which are often confused. Accountability to law refers to accountability to legal rules and standards. Accountability through law refers to achieving routes of administrative and political accountability through legal institutions. Accountability of law implies the accountability of legal institutions themselves to the wider public (and other courts) for their decisions. We argue that these dimensions are deeply connected in the sense that either improvements or failures along one dimension are easily carried to the others. We demonstrate the argument by applying our concept of legal accountability to ECB activity, comparing judicial review in the context of monetary policy with the Single Supervisory Mechanism. These cases suggest a possible vicious rather than virtuous circle of legal accountability, i.e., a tendency for either unclear legal standards or lack of accountability of courts themselves to undermine accountability for ECB activity as a whole.
