Betreff: "The Eurozone's Crisis of Legitimacy" - RECONNECT Webinar (23/10) by Prof. Vivien Schmidt

 

Kindly Invite You to a RECONNECT Webinar   Europe's Crisis of Legitimacy: Governing by Rules and Ruling by Numbers in the Eurozone   by Prof. Vivien Schmidt Boston University   23 October 2019, 4 - 5 pm (CEST)

In this webinar Professor Schmidt will present her forthcoming book on "Europe's crisis of legitimacy" (Oxford University Press 2020). She will discuss how the EU’s (euro) crisis of legitimacy centers on problems related to (a lack of) policy effectiveness, political responsiveness, and procedural quality.  But she also contends that in pursuit of legitimacy as much as in response to deteriorating economics and increasing political volatility, EU institutional actors—ECB, Council, Commission, and EP—incrementally reinterpreted the rules and recalibrated the numbers ‘by stealth,’ that is, without admitting it in their public discourse.  To theorize about such processes of ideational innovation and discursive legitimation during the Eurozone crisis, Prof. Schmidt uses the neo-institutionalist framework of discursive institutionalism. Discussant: Prof. Kolja Raube (Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies) Moderator: Alex Andrione-Moylan (Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies)

October 23 16:00 - 17:00 (CEST)   Participation is free, but we kindly ask you to register your attendance to the webinar via the link below:     REGISTER
