Political capitalism in the digital era: reconstructing the capital–state relation
No full textThis article discusses the role of big tech in becoming an engine of capturing public power. We focus on tech capitalist classes and their determination to capture both the economic benefit and the political decision. First, the article does so by bringing to the fore input from Weber’s political capitalism to explain the linkages between state and tech capitalists as the illustration of a structural dependence where lobbying activities are intensified. Second, pushing further the generally admitted idea of states and markets being co-constitutive allows to broaden the concept of political capitalism to include not only rent seeking, property rights’ issues, and surplus extraction mechanisms but also models of governance. The study suggests that in the case of digital capitalism, property rights on productive resources, originally private while also publicly subsidized, can make big tech not just shapers of common values but also providers of public goods.

L'usage du soft law dans le système juridique international et ses implications sémantiques et pratiques sur la notion de règle de droit.
No full textThis article proposes a reflection on soft law and its growing use in international practices. In order to understand the reasons of the soft law expansion, the idea of the variability of legalization at the international level is put forward.After trying to identify the soft law acts, our attention is oriented to the “reduced juridicity”, which constitutes their main specificity at the conceptual level. The soft law acts are distinguished from conventional restricting acts of international law by the fact that they don't have necessarily or immediately a legal character, and consequently, they aren't systematically restricting.Soft law is specific also from a practical point of view because of different roles that it accomplishes with regard to the hard law. Its use is favoured by its “light” character at the procedural level and by its faculty of extension of the room of manoeuvre of governments at the international level.Finally, the conclusion lays particular stress on the semantic consequences the soft law use involves regarding the notion of law rule. The unified and hierarchical conception of law is replaced by an “exploded” conception of law where the constraint isn't anymore a constituent but a functional element of the international legal order.Cet article propose une réflexion autour du soft law et de son usage croissant dans les pratiques internationales. En vue de saisir les raisons du déploiement du soft law, l'idée d'une graduation de la « légalisation » au niveau international est mise en avant.Après avoir essayé d'identifier ces actes du soft law, l'attention se porte sur leur « juridicité atténuée » qui constitue leur principale spécificité sur le plan conceptuel. Les actes du soft law se distinguent des actes conventionnels à caractère contraignant du droit international par le fait qu'ils n'ont pas nécessairement ni immédiatement un caractère juridique, et par conséquent, ne sont pas forcément contraignants.Le soft law se particularise aussi, du point de vue de la pratique, par les différents rôles qu'il remplit par rapport au droit dur. Son usage est favorisé par son caractère « allégé » sur le plan procédural et par sa faculté d'extension de la marge d'action gouvernementale au niveau international.Enfin, la partie conclusive insiste sur les conséquences sémantiques que l'usage du soft law entraîne concernant la notion de la règle de droit. À la conception unifiée et hiérarchisée du droit se substitue une conception « éclatée » du droit où la contrainte n'est plus un élément constitutif, mais fonctionnel de l'ordre juridique international
Defying the Oracle? The 2014 Greek Presidency of the EU Council. EPIN Working Paper No. 36, February 2014
No full textThe Greek government would like to promote the idea that the country is an equal partner in the EU system of governance, despite the country's economic, political, and social implosion. This presidency is characterised by poor leadership and a lack of vision. It is being called upon to coordinate a presidential agenda without being substantially involved in its drafting; it simply mediates between European institutions. This trend has a negative impact on the behaviour and trust of public administrators, whose personal investment is vital for the smooth functioning of the presidency. The paper concludes that Greece’s presidency of the Council of the EU cannot be the standard-bearer for a pro-European message
Les représentants permanents auprès de l'UE ou la redéfinition d'un rôle politique européen.
No full textThe 2015 Greek Referendum. EPIN Commentary No. 24, 3 July 2015
No full textThe Greek government called a snap referendum on the proposals advanced by the EU partners and creditor, i.e. the draft Agreement submitted by the EU/IMF to the Eurogroup of 25 June 2015. There has been a major controversy among Greek constitutional lawyers about whether this referendum meets constitutional requirements. No doubt, the constitutional validity of this referendum could be challenged on pure normative terms (nature of the question, time limit); yet this shock call for a referendum appeared as the only political solution for the Greek government facing the dilemma of whether to take the plunge of having five-months of negotiations transformed into a negative-sum game
