Role of the Court in the third pillar: Does not it grow too fast?Ivan Grigoriev
This document discusses the role of the European Court of Justice in the third pillar of EU law regarding police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters. It outlines what the EU treaties say about the Court's competences in this area and how the Court has interpreted its own role. The document also examines the Court's contributions, such as restoring the consistency of the legal system and mutual recognition between member states. However, it notes some drawbacks of the Court's interventions, such as suboptimal legal solutions and reversals of communitarization. Overall, the document evaluates that the Court's involvement came politically too early but was necessary given the specificity of decisions taken in justice and home affairs.
The document discusses two crises that challenged the legitimacy of the European Central Bank as a non-majoritarian institution: the global financial crisis and the sovereign debt crisis. During the financial crisis, the ECB's legitimacy declined despite successfully controlling inflation. The sovereign debt crisis further threatened the ECB's legitimacy by raising questions about its autonomy. The ECB responded by advocating for an economic government and new policy tools at the European level to maintain the integrity of the eurozone.
This document discusses whether and how European integration could become more politicized. It notes that public opinion is no longer accepting of integration without question due to shifts in the EU's policy agenda and the end of a "permissive consensus" among citizens. It argues that constitutionalization alone does not encourage citizen participation and that "majoritarianism light," including more qualified majority voting and less consensus-seeking, could help politicize the process and make leaders more accountable. However, there are trade-offs between constitutionalization and politicization. The document reviews arguments from various scholars on these issues.
The document discusses whether the European Union already has a constitution and what kind of constitution it is. It argues that while the EU has some elements of a "constitutional charter", its existing framework is discrete, incomplete, and made for lawyers rather than citizens. It also examines what would constitute a "proper" constitution for the EU, concluding that it would need to be easier to understand, without institutional pillars, use more qualified majority voting, engage citizens more closely and be simpler overall to facilitate continuous integration.
Rationalism is no more useful than constructivism in explaining EU policy processes. Rationalism views preferences as fixed but constructivism argues they are socially constructed through institutions. Constructivism posits that social learning shapes identities and interests as actors interact in new institutional environments. This helps address rationalism's failure to explain changing outcomes when institutions change. Examples of high and low politics show how constructivism frames institutional change as discursive and ideational rather than just aggregating fixed preferences. While promising, constructivism has implementation problems and its usage as a label is unclear. Future theories may integrate rationalism and constructivism.
