“…14 Turning to the FC, it must be noted that, even though the UK's opposition can explain why the MSs could not choose to change the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU, it does not explain why they chose to adopt an international treaty. According to several accounts, the provisions contained in the FT might have been passed through the Community method (see Kocharov, 2012;Miller, 2012). The choice of adopting an international treaty, rather than EU secondary legislation, was strongly contested by the Commission and by the members of the European Parliament.…”

During the Eurozone crisis, the so-called ‘Merkozy duumvirate’ emerged as an informal, but highly visible EU policy-making pattern. This article asks why such forms of decentralized bargaining emerge and what this implies for the theory of EU institutions. According to an approach based on negotiation theory, the article argues that Merkozy is a strategic tool used by Germany to realize its preferences on EU crisis management. Based on an incomplete contracts theory of EU institutions, instead, the article analyses Merkozy as an informal institution created by France and Germany to avoid being discriminated by supranational institutions. Both approaches are employed to assess Merkozy’s role in the decision-making process leading to the adoption of the Fiscal Compact

The social movement literature in Western Europe and North America has oriented much of its theoretical work towards micro-, meso-, and macro-level examinations of its subject of study but has rarely integrated these levels of analysis. This review article broadly documents the leading theoretical perspectives on social movements, while highlighting the contributions made in recent years with regard to the wave of protests across the globe-typified by the Occupy movement and the 'Arab Spring'-and grievances that are relatively novel in qualitative or quantitative form such as austerity, precarity, and a sense of democratic deficiency. While these novel social processes have invigorated the specialized arena of 'social movement studies' and generated a resurgence of work on social movements beyond the field, we argue for the need to interconnect levels of analysis in order to develop a more insightful account of contemporary contentious politics.

I. Financial Crisis, EU Crisis and Constitutional Implications.-II. The Background in a nutshell.-III. The New Economic Governance: Asymmetry and Intergovernmentalism.-IV. What Can we Learn From the National Level?.-V. Bibliography. RESUMENEl objetivo de este artículo es ofrecer una panorámica de la literatura más relevante sobre las implicaciones constitucionales derivadas de la crisis de la Unión europea (UE). Mi análisis explora las principales opiniones doctrinales sobre las mutaciones de la estructura constitucional de la Unión producidas por la crisis. Con este propósito el término «mutación constitucional» no debe entenderse como una completa ruptura con el pasado y de hecho a lo largo de este artículo trataré de enfatizar en ambas, ya sea la continuidad o la discontinuidad, en relación con la concepción tradicional del proceso de constitucionalización de la UE.
