“…In place of inter‐institutional consensus, the Member States would remain the dominant actors, with agreements (in both CFSP and economic governance) that would often take the form of either soft law or agreements primarily implemented at the national level. European‐level judicial review, under this method, was largely precluded (Koutrakos, , pp. 9–17).…”

How should decision-making under EU economic governance be understood following the eurocrisis? This article argues, contra existing depictions, that the post-crisis EU has increasingly adopted methods of decision-making in the economic field which marry the decision-making structure of inter-governmentalism with the supervisory and implementation framework of the Community Method. While this 'post-crisis' method has arisen for clear reasons -to achieve economic convergence between eurozone states in an environment where previous models of decision-making were unsuitable or unwanted -it also carries important normative implications. Post-crisis governance departs from the mechanisms of legal and political accountability present in previous forms of EU decision-making without substituting new models of accountability in their place. Providing appropriate channels of political and legal control in the EU's 'new' economic governance should be seen as a crucial task for the coming decade.

“…The global ambitions of the EU are not limited to foreign policy, but include a clear security and defence dimension. In particular since the 'breakthrough' in the Treaty of Nice in 2003, the development of a Common Security and Defence policy (CSDP) and its civilian and military missions have been given extensive attention in legal research (Blockmans and Wessel, 2009;Koutrakos, 2013;Naert, 2010;Wessel, 2003b).…”

Sage, 2014 (forthcoming) * The abbreviation ECJ for the European Court of Justice is increasingly replaced by CJEU for Court of Justice of the European Union. While CJEU would refer to the 'main' Court in the EU's judicial system (settling legal disputes between EU governments and EU institutions; and under conditions dealing with claims from individuals, companies or organizations), it is also used more generally as to include the other two parts: the General Court (previously called the Court of First Instance, dealing with cases brought forward by private individuals, companies and some organizations, and cases relating to competition law) and the EU Civil Service Tribunal (ruling on disputes between the European Union and its staff).

Financing Common Security and Defence Policy operations: explaining change and inertia in a fragmented and flexible structure

The financing of Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) operations questions the capacity of the European Union (EU) to contribute to crisis management. Instead of a single mechanism that would be used for all kinds of missions, different mechanisms are applied, depending on the objective and nature of the operation. The aim of this article is to explain change and inertia in the way these operations are funded. The first section is dedicated to the presentation of the legal framework and its characterization as a fragmented and flexible structure. It allows for identifying the changes that have affected the financing of EU operational activities abroad. The main problems and challenges in financing CSDP operations are dealt with in the second section. The third section explains: (1) why changes have occurred in some areas and (2) why inertia has prevailed in other areas in spite of the problems previously identified. Three main explanations are tested. Rules and practices in financing CSDP operations (1) result from operational needs, (2) are influenced by proactive supranational institutions and (3) are triggered by the Member States. These three explanations are not mutually exclusive. They all contribute to the understanding of CSDP operations, but the relative importance of each factor depends on the operations at hand. Generally, the second factor is at play in the case of civilian operations, while the third one prevails with regard to military operations. The first factor brings a complementary explanation to both kinds of operations.
