ABSTRACT This article provides a Weberian ideal-type framework to capture elite strategies for managing hard Euroscepticism and their consequences for EU disintegration. It does so by drawing on policy evolution theory to conceptualise two ideal types representing contrasting strategies: taming Euroscepticism by technocratic adaptation or embracing it. This framework is used to analyse empirical examples that match these two ideal-type approaches respectively: France and the UK between 2004 and 17. The use of this framework is a novel way of explaining the evolution and differences between elite French and UK responses to hard Euroscepticism by showing how and why French EU policy remained intra-paradigmatic as compared to the paradigm shift of Brexit. This approach allows for a better understanding of the process and probability of EU disintegration by linking the latter to strategic policy choices. In a UK context, it also offers a way to anticipate the signals leading to a reversal of disintegration.
本文提供了一个韦伯式的理想型框架,以捕捉管理硬欧洲怀疑主义及其对欧盟解体的后果的精英战略。它通过借鉴政策演化理论,将两种代表截然不同策略的理想类型概念化:通过技术官僚式的适应来驯服欧洲怀疑主义,或者接受它。这一框架分别用于分析与这两种理想型方法相匹配的实证例子:2004年至2017年的法国和英国。这一框架的使用是解释法国和英国精英阶层对强硬的欧洲怀疑主义反应的演变和差异的一种新颖方式,它展示了与英国退欧的范式转变相比,法国的欧盟政策如何以及为什么仍然是范式内的。通过将欧盟解体与战略政策选择联系起来,这种方法可以更好地理解欧盟解体的过程和可能性。在英国的背景下,它还提供了一种预测导致解体逆转的信号的方法。

ABSTRACT The paper’s aim is two-fold. First, it wants to explore if and how the war in Ukraine has exposed tension in the EU’s foundational myth as a political community forged in crisis with the aim to bring peace and stability to Europe. Second, it highlights how the war reveals that the EU ultimately fails to be an ontological security provider for member states and Europeans. The paradox of the EU’s myth of crisis is that it, like all foundational myths, is supposed to lead to a more secure sense of self and continuity. However, the war in Ukraine is a crisis that cannot be addressed without putting into discussion the other part of the foundational myth of how integration leads to peace and how this may help to explain limits to how much the EU can do to guarantee peace and stability.
摘要本文的目的有两个。首先,它想探讨乌克兰战争是否以及如何暴露了欧盟作为一个在危机中建立的政治共同体的基本神话中的紧张局势,目的是为欧洲带来和平与稳定。其次,它强调了战争如何揭示欧盟最终未能成为成员国和欧洲人的本体论安全提供者。欧盟危机神话的悖论在于,它和所有基本神话一样,应该会带来更安全的自我意识和连续性。然而,乌克兰战争是一场危机,如果不讨论一体化如何带来和平的基本神话的另一部分,以及这如何有助于解释欧盟在保障和平与稳定方面所能做的有限。

Principal-agent relations, politics of discretion, and the Africa-EU Partnership on Peace and Security 委托代理关系,自由裁量权政治,非洲-欧盟和平与安全伙伴关系

ABSTRACT Interregionalism constitutes a main feature of EU external policy and unfolds specifically in Africa-EU-relations. However, research has merely focused on the EU as a coherent actor, although many EU institutions implement cooperation with African partners. Likewise, principal-agent research, a prominent path to unpack the internals of EU policies, on the EU´s interregional relations is nascent. This paper seeks to fill these research gaps by applying a principal-agent framework to internal processes of the EU in its Africa relations. After analyzing acts of delegation, it analyzes the discretion of the agents. Pointing specifically to the EU-Africa Partnership on Peace and Security, the study investigates on principal-agent relations from a non-principal-related perspective that puts forward structure-induced and interest-induced factors for increased agent discretion. The results suggest that agents enjoy substantial discretion enabled by the specific environment and agent actions in a policy field of high importance to the principals.
区域间主义是欧盟对外政策的一个重要特征,具体表现在非欧关系中。然而,尽管许多欧盟机构实施了与非洲伙伴的合作,但研究仅仅集中在欧盟作为一个连贯的行动者上。同样,关于欧盟区域间关系的委托代理研究(一种揭示欧盟政策内部的重要途径)也刚刚起步。本文试图通过将委托代理框架应用于欧盟在非洲关系中的内部流程来填补这些研究空白。在分析了委托行为之后,分析了代理人的自由裁量权。本研究特别以欧盟-非洲和平与安全伙伴关系为例,从非委托相关的角度考察委托-代理关系,提出了结构诱导和利益诱导因素对代理自由裁量权增加的影响。结果表明,代理人在特定环境和代理人在对委托人高度重要的政策领域的行动中享有实质性的自由裁量权。

ABSTRACT Over the last two decades, a raising awareness concerning the Eurocentric nature of knowledge production infused the research on EU development cooperation. As a consequence, this field of study had to face a post-development and a post-colonial challenge. In this context, a renewed interest towards Africa and the multifaceted agency of the EU from a socio-ontological and normative perspective emerged. By combining normative political theory and empirical research, three books offer relevant insights concerning intra-EU norm coordination, situated norm collision, and norm problematisation in Africa-EU relations. In a global scenario that leaves no space for oversimplifying dichotomies and epistemic stances shaped by outdated hegemonies, these contributions prove to be an essential starting point for future research that aims at analysing post-2020 EU development cooperation.
在过去的二十年中,对知识生产的欧洲中心性质的认识不断提高,这一认识注入了对欧盟发展合作的研究。因此,这一研究领域必须面对后发展和后殖民的挑战。在这种情况下,从社会本体论和规范的角度重新对非洲和欧盟的多方面机构产生了兴趣。通过将规范政治理论与实证研究相结合,三本书就欧盟内部规范协调、情境规范冲突和非欧关系中的规范问题化提供了相关见解。在一个没有为过时霸权形成的过度简化二分法和认识立场留下空间的全球情景中,这些贡献被证明是旨在分析2020年后欧盟发展合作的未来研究的重要起点。

Stalled by design: New paradoxes in the European Union’s single financial market 故意停滞:欧盟单一金融市场的新悖论

ABSTRACT Since the US financial meltdown in 2008 that sparked a Eurozone crisis, the European Union has introduced new financial market initiatives that were intended to advance integration, bring stability, and create shared prosperity for EU members. Innovations included Banking Union, Capital Markets Union, and the European Fund for Strategic Investments. We find, however, that tensions between supranationalization and retaining national control in institutional design diminished incentives for full participation, particularly among the EU’s East Central European members. Uneven levels of foreign bank ownership between East and West Europe, disparities in the depth of capital markets, and varying institutional capacity have often led Eastern member states to opt out. Paradoxically, initiatives intended to advance integration and overcome developmental inequalities have instead compounded national fragmentation and restricted pathways to catching up for some of the EU’s less prosperous members. Thus, European financial integration was stalled by design.
摘要自2008年美国金融危机引发欧元区危机以来,欧盟推出了新的金融市场举措,旨在促进一体化,带来稳定,并为欧盟成员国创造共同繁荣。创新包括银行联盟、资本市场联盟和欧洲战略投资基金。然而,我们发现,超国有化和在制度设计中保持国家控制之间的紧张关系削弱了充分参与的动机,尤其是在欧盟的中东欧成员国中。东欧和西欧之间外国银行所有权水平的不均衡、资本市场深度的差异以及不同的机构能力往往导致东欧成员国选择退出。矛盾的是,旨在促进一体化和克服发展不平等的举措反而加剧了国家分裂,并限制了追赶一些不太繁荣的欧盟成员国的途径。因此,欧洲金融一体化在设计上陷入停滞。

ABSTRACT The papers of this special issue investigate the persistent challenges to European Banking Union and explore the tensions between broader financial stability objectives and national political and socio-economic pressures through a diversity of lenses. In this introduction, we examine two main issues that need to be addressed in order to strengthen Banking Union: the incomplete institutional design of Banking Union and the difficulties encountered in applying the different elements of Banking Union to loosen sovereign-bank ties. These elements include the so-called ‘single’ rulebook, supervision, resolution, and financial mechanisms to support and resolve banks.
摘要本期特刊的论文调查了欧洲银行联盟面临的持续挑战,并通过多种视角探讨了更广泛的金融稳定目标与国家政治和社会经济压力之间的紧张关系。在引言中,我们探讨了加强银行联盟需要解决的两个主要问题:银行联盟的制度设计不完整,以及在运用银行联盟的不同要素来放松主权银行关系时遇到的困难。这些要素包括所谓的“单一”规则手册、监督、决议以及支持和解决银行问题的金融机制。

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) from three overlapping perspectives: first, as a centralized hierarchy, seeking to enforce uniform rules, standards, and procedures; second, as a polyarchic network, seeking to orchestrate cooperation between the ECB and national authorities; and finally, as an experimentalist organization, seeking to learn from diversity by adapting common rules and procedures to the specificities of individual banks, and revising them regularly through peer review of implementation experience at multiple levels. Drawing extensively on interviews and primary documents, the paper traces the evolution of the SSM’s institutional structures, decision-making processes, and organizational practices from its origins to the present. On this basis, the paper argues that the most encompassing perspective on the SSM is that of an experimentalist organization, which integrates and recasts key elements of the other two views into a more complete and dynamic analysis of its evolving architecture and practical operations.
摘要:本文从三个重叠的角度对单一监督机制进行了分析:第一,作为一个集中的层级,寻求执行统一的规则、标准和程序;第二,作为一个多集权网络,寻求协调欧洲央行与各国政府之间的合作;最后,作为一个实验主义组织,寻求从多样性中学习,使共同的规则和程序适应个别银行的具体情况,并通过对多个层面实施经验的同行评审定期对其进行修订。通过广泛的访谈和原始文件,本文追溯了SSM从起源到现在的制度结构、决策过程和组织实践的演变。在此基础上,本文认为,对SSM最全面的观点是一个实验主义组织的观点,它整合并重塑了其他两种观点的关键要素,对其不断发展的架构和实际运作进行了更完整、更动态的分析。

Moral Hazard, central bankers, and Banking Union: professional dissensus and the politics of European financial system stability 道德风险、央行行长和银行业联盟:职业分歧和欧洲金融体系稳定的政治

ABSTRACT Banking Union was a major policy response to the financial crisis that began in 2007 and the subsequent Eurozone crisis. Moral hazard has frequently been presented as a major cause of these crises. Therefore, Banking Union can be understood as a response to moral hazard in relation to banks and sovereigns. Yet, moral hazard was an acknowledged and supposedly managed problem prior to these events. Paradoxically, moral hazard has been used to justify contradictory policy options to safeguard European financial system stability, such as decentralized institutional arrangements for banking supervision but also a centralized system coordinated by the European Central Bank (ECB). To address this paradox, this paper investigates moral hazard as a political concept. Based on a comparison of how central bankers from the Bundesbank and the ECB understand and use the moral hazard concept, this paper argues that moral hazard is closer to the realm of politics than expertise.
银行业联盟是对始于2007年的金融危机和随后的欧元区危机的主要政策回应。道德风险经常被认为是这些危机的主要原因。因此,银行业联盟可以被理解为对与银行和主权有关的道德风险的回应。然而,在这些事件发生之前,道德风险是一个公认的、理应得到管理的问题。矛盾的是,道德风险被用来为维护欧洲金融体系稳定的相互矛盾的政策选择辩护,例如,分散的银行监管制度安排,以及由欧洲央行(ECB)协调的集中体系。为了解决这一悖论,本文将道德风险作为一个政治概念进行研究。通过比较德国央行和欧洲央行的央行官员如何理解和使用道德风险概念,本文认为,道德风险更接近于政治领域,而不是专业领域。

The European Central Bank, the Single Supervisory Mechanism and the COVID-19 related economic crisis: a neofunctionalist analysis 欧洲央行、单一监管机制与新冠肺炎相关经济危机:新功能主义分析

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a major economic crisis worldwide. The monetary policy response of the European Central Bank (ECB) was fast and massive. The ECB also intervened on the supervisory side because, after the establishment of Banking Union, the ECB was given responsibility for banking supervision in the euro area through the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). This paper explains the response of the ECB-SSM to the COVID-19 related economic crisis during 2020 and 2021, up until February 2022. These ECB actions include the reduction of bank capital buffers, the redefinition of non-performing loans, and the limitations on dividends and bonuses paid by banks. We adopt a neofunctionalist approach, which suggests that policies are developed at the EU level in response to need, whereby supranational actors and spillovers are particularly important. We offer some concluding insights into whether the ECB-SSM’s responses have led to a further deepening of integration.
新冠肺炎疫情在全球引发重大经济危机。欧洲央行(ECB)的货币政策反应迅速而大规模。欧洲央行还在监管方面进行了干预,因为在银行业联盟成立后,欧洲央行通过单一监管机制(SSM)被赋予了对欧元区银行业监管的责任。本文解释了ECB-SSM对2020年和2021年至2022年2月期间与COVID-19相关的经济危机的反应。欧洲央行的这些行动包括减少银行资本缓冲,重新定义不良贷款,以及限制银行支付的股息和奖金。我们采用新功能主义方法,即在欧盟层面根据需要制定政策,其中超国家行为体和溢出效应尤为重要。我们对欧洲央行-社会保障机制的回应是否导致了一体化的进一步深化提供了一些结论性见解。

The ECB also intervened on the supervisory side because, after the establishment of Banking Union, the ECB was given responsibility for banking supervision in the euro area through the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM). This paper explains the response of the ECB-SSM to the COVID-19 related economic crisis during 2020 and 2021, up until February 2022. These ECB actions include the reduction of bank capital buffers, the redefinition of non-performing loans, and the limitations on dividends and bonuses paid by banks. We adopt a neofunctionalist approach, which suggests that policies are developed at the EU level in response to need, whereby supranational actors and spillovers are particularly important. We offer some concluding insights into whether the ECB-SSM’s responses have led to a further deepening of integration.","PeriodicalId":47516,"journal":{"name":"Journal of European Integration","volume":"45 1","pages":"139 - 156"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45959540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Based on a discussion of main channels through which fiscal stability can contribute to financial stability, the current legal governance framework of the euro area and the experience gained in its application are assessed with the aim to offer an answer to the question alluded to in the title, namely whether the EU’s fiscal architecture, namely the current EMU legal framework on economic policy coordination, provides a meaningful contribution to financial stability. Moreover, the potential of this framework to accommodate future measures to enhance fiscal stability is briefly assessed.
在讨论财政稳定促进金融稳定的主要渠道的基础上,本文评估了欧元区目前的法律治理框架及其在应用中获得的经验,旨在回答标题中暗示的问题,即欧盟的财政架构,即目前的欧洲货币联盟经济政策协调法律框架,是否为金融稳定提供了有意义的贡献。此外,简要评估了这一框架在适应未来加强财政稳定措施方面的潜力。
