This article examines the narrative framework in European Union (EU) research and innovation projects, focusing on symbolic practices and terminology. The analysis includes over five years of ethnographic research, and 20 European projects funded by Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe, and Erasmus+ programs. It explores different ways project actors internalize and reproduce the EU's symbolic power through its policies, particularly the ambiguous concept of "innovation." Using Bourdieu's theory of practice, the research highlights the way social structures within the "project field" influence dynamics and outcomes, often resulting in a gap between rhetoric and reality. The study also uncovers broader political and social implications of these practices, calling for critical reflection of their impact. In its conclusion, the authors discuss the challenges of maintaining genuine innovation amidst bureaucratic requirements and the EU's symbolic power, advocating for more nuanced and context‐aware project practices.

Este trabajo tiene por objeto analizar cómo operan los controles de legalidad que inciden actualmente sobre la actividad administrativa de asistencia mutua en la recaudación de créditos tributarios y otras exacciones de derecho público dentro de la UE, singularmente en lo que afecta al reparto de las competencias revisoras entre los Estados concernidos. Para ello, se examinan los principales aspectos conflictivos que han sido objeto de enjuiciamiento en los últimos años por el TJUE y que afectan, entre otras cuestiones de interés, a la correcta notificación del instrumento de cobro al deudor, a la necesaria distinción entre el instrumento de ejecución dictado por el Estado requirente y las medidas ejecución implementadas por el Estado requerido, así como al alcance y justificación de las medidas cautelares adoptadas a instancia de la autoridad peticionaria de la cooperación interestatal. Se constata una evidente imprecisión en el desempeño de dichos controles legales por las autoridades de los países implicados, con la consiguiente merma de las garantías jurídicas que deben asistir al deudor cuando ejerce sus derechos de defensa.

A virulent outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease killed thousands of individuals between December 2013 and June 2016. The risk of contagion among European Union (EU) citizens increased its salience to unprecedented levels for an outbreak that primarily affected sub-Saharan Africa. Considering the need for analyzing recent external transboundary outbreak responses in the post-COVID-19 era, this paper explains the involvement of the EU in the Ebola outbreak. By combining descriptive social network analysis with fourteen semi-structured interviews, it provides original insights into European politics and crisis management scholarship. The findings partially support theoretical expectations regarding the relevance of postcolonial ties and institutional frameworks in the reaction. It also suggests that neorealist literature fails to capture its full complexity. Hence, institutional deficiencies explain the low centrality and flawed coordination among EU actors in the response. Additionally, postcolonial ties with the affected countries facilitated the involvement of Western governments in the reaction. However, not all former colonial powers were equally involved in the response. Finally, countries that registered infections did not necessarily play central roles in this effort. These findings have broader implications for the involvement of the EU in future external outbreaks, including the need for establishing clearer and explicit allocations of competences.

Racism and xenophobia are growing in Europe. The dignity and human rights of the thousands of immigrants who arrive on our beaches fleeing misery or war are being violated. The principles and values of the European Union, enshrined in its Treaty and Charter of Fundamental Rights-which have structured its internal and international action-are not being upheld with respect to the immigration issue. Not long ago, illustrious representatives of the EU proudly proclaimed these values: "The European way of life consists of pooling our main talents and energies. We have to respect others regardless of the color of their skin and the states they come from. Accepting those who come from distant lands is part of the European way of life". However, solidarity is increasingly absent. There is no migration crisis but a crisis of humanity, which the EU does not address. It has renounced acting according to its constitutional norms. Immigration, instead of being considered a humanitarian issue of primary interest, has become a security issue. There is no justice for the damaged of the Earth. It seems that the gods of the EU have forgotten what is fair and unfair. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The European Union, in its beginning, had the objective of promoting economic cooperation, under the premise that commerce generates interdependence between countries, which reduces the possibilities of conflict. However, despite the intention of the UE to mitigate the conflicts, it could not avoid the dispute between Russia and Ukraine, a dispute that is rooted in a complex historical and cultural trajectory. The Russian invasion of Ukraine brought the Council of the European Union to impose sanctions on Russia. The object of study of the present project was to analyze the Council Regulation N°2022/345 of the European Union that establishes sanctions with mostly economic effects, but also has social consequences. The methodology applied was qualitative, using the bibliography review, and was sustained in analytic methods, by exegetic and historical logic. By all counts, it was reflected about if this type of regulations generated an important contribution for the conflict affected country that in this case was Ukraine or if was in fact a historic-cultural conflict disguise between the power allies of the regional bloc, and Russia. With the objective of isolation and limitation for geopolitical purposes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After the euro crisis, politicization patterns led the institutions of the European Union to gradually redirect the bloc's socioeconomic governance away from austerity. It is less clear whether the erosion of austerity was mirrored in national economic discourses. To fill this gap, this article provides a quantitative and qualitative analysis of parliamentary budget debates in four country cases: France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Portugal, from 2014 to 2020. The results show contrasting patterns of "fiscal discipline" frame resilience in national economic discourse in ways consistent with intergovernmental bargaining around the pandemic recovery agenda. Moreover, shared preoccupations relating to investment in the economy, social inequality, and climate change emerge as major threads shaping budget making. These findings suggest an increasingly integrated multi‐level system of economic governance and call for further investigation into the links between ideas shaping EU economic governance and economic discourses in member states.

This paper analyses the repercussions that the war in Ukraine since 2022 has had on the European Union (EU) policy of economic globalisation. The Union's comprehensive response to the conflict is examined from different angles, taking in energy insecurity, economic shocks, geopolitical shifts, humanitarian challenges and technological vulnerabilities. In this context, the EU's adaptive resilience is evident on several fronts, such as the integration of its economic policies with security (particularly in critical sectors), its role in the European security architecture and its commitment to incorporating Ukraine into the West. The study expands to include the flexible management of mass migration, tech vulnerabilities, energy resilience, economic stability, geopolitical alliances, humanitarian response action and technological reinforcement.

The evolution of the European Union (EU) Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) raises questions about whether societies in member states share a common or convergent defence culture. Conceptual and methodological problems in the existing literature, however, make it difficult to measure this phenomenon. That is why this paper proposes a new model to measure the political culture relative to European defence, using a mixed factor analysis. In addition, drawing on a series of Eurobarometer surveys, it charts current attitudes towards defence in European citizenship and the impact of the war in Ukraine. The findings point to the existence of several political subcultures regarding defence in the EU. They also indicate various methodological strengths - and limitations - arising from the available Eurobarometer data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of e-commerce has significantly increased. However, the nature of practicing ecommerce differs from the nature of practicing traditional commerce. Differences such as the absence of direct interaction between seller and buyer, the absence of direct observation of the sold item by the customer, and cross-border transactions in e-commerce can result in many legal challenges. These challenges can extend to adequate consumer protection and impact consumer confidence in e-commerce. This paper critically evaluates the legal protection of e-consumers in Europe. It is argued that although the EU has successfully achieved its goal of establishing a common e-commerce market, its success in establishing an effective e-consumer protection framework and enhancing consumer confidence is still a concern.

El presente trabajo centra sus esfuerzos en tratar un ámbito del derecho de la Unión Europea de especial actualidad: el deporte. Las particularidades de la política deportiva en la Unión Europea, a la luz del marco jurídico definido en el Tratado de Lisboa aprobado en 2007, son sobresalientes, teniendo en cuenta las diferentes aristas que vertebran esta materia: la libre circulación de personas, las normas de libre competencia o las condiciones de desarrollo laboral, son algunas de las cuestiones que pretendemos abordar a continuación. En particular, la reciente sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea FIFA c. L. Diarra (asunto C650/22), resuelta a través del planteamiento de una cuestión prejudicial por la Corte de Apelación de Mons (Bélgica), permite hacer un estudio pormenorizado que incardina elementos de las instituciones y políticas de la UE con los principios del derecho de la UE más consolidados por la jurisprudencia del TJUE, como son la proporcionalidad o la libre competencia.

Este trabajo trata sobre las disonancias que se advierten en Europa en relación a los derechos y las libertades de las personas, en razón a las divergencias que se aprecian al respecto del reconocimiento jurídico y en la garantía jurisdiccional de éstos. A este fin primero se analiza cómo hoy Europa en materia de derechos y libertades se identifica desde el Derecho como un espacio propio ante el contexto global. Luego se trata la diversa configuración y reconocimiento jurídico de los derechos en el espacio europeo, además del carácter con el que actúan los tribunales nacionales y europeos en su garantía. Después se estudia cómo se relaciona la anterior configuración de los derechos y las libertades con los tribunales en Europa, y a su luz se examinan también las divergencias que entre unos y otros derechos y tribunales que se aprecian en los distintos ordenamientos y generan las disonancias en el espacio europeo de los derechos. Y para terminar, dedicaremos unas consideraciones con las que reducir dichas divergencias y disonancias. Fecha de recepción: 22.11.2024 Fecha de aprobación: 28.11.2024

Introducción: El auge de la desinformación en los diversos canales de comunicación, especialmente en aquellos soportados por Internet y las redes sociales, ha propiciado que la verificación adquiera un papel crucial. Por ello, los medios de comunicación han reforzado estas tareas y se han generado nuevas iniciativas empresariales y sociales que persiguen dar certeza a la ciudadanía sobre lo que es cierto y es falso en la información que recibe. Muchos estudios académicos estudian este fenómeno preocupante, analizando desde la estructura y contenido de los bulos, hasta las actitudes de quienes los reciben, pero pocos se preguntan cómo son las personas que trabajan en verificación y menos aún dónde están las mujeres en este nuevo entorno laboral. Este trabajo analiza las iniciativas de verificación en los países del Sur de la Unión Europea y especialmente su realidad laboral, cuantificando el peso de las mujeres en ellas y el papel que desempeñan. Metodología: Como base de la investigación se ha utilizado el Censo de iniciativas de verificación elaborado por el Reporters’ Lab de la Duke University para Croacia, Eslovenia, España, Grecia, Italia y Portugal en su actualización de 2023 (N=20); los sitios web de las iniciativas recogidas en el censo y las estadísticas de la Unión Europea, Eurostat. El criterio de selección de la muestra ha sido el país donde se ubican las iniciativas de verificación y la metodología utilizada el análisis de datos mediante técnicas de estadística descriptiva. Se han enriquecido los datos con el seguimiento de las webs analizadas y sus publicaciones durante un año. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que las mujeres representan más de la mitad de la fuerza laboral en las iniciativas analizadas, muy por encima de su peso en la población empleada. También la presencia de mujeres en puestos directivos es, porcentualmente, superior al cuantificado en el total de empresas. Discusión y Conclusiones: Se reflexiona sobre cómo este nuevo espacio laboral está ofreciendo oportunidades para la igualdad para las mujeres en el ámbito del periodismo.

La investigación presenta los retos éticos y jurídicos sobre la inteligencia artificial, tanto en Europa como en Colombia. Esta última se ha convertido en uno de los temas más discutidos y polémicos. La preocupación de gobiernos, quienes ven las oportunidades que la IA puede ofrecer a la sociedad, pero temen que su uso pueda ocasionar problemas que superen los beneficios aparentes. La Unión Europea ha aprobado la reglamentación comunitaria sobre de la inteligencia artificial: el Artificial Intelligence Act. En Colombia, el gobierno ha reconocido la importancia de la inteligencia artificial, con sus respectivos riesgos y beneficios, sin embargo, no se ha traducido en un esfuerzo regulatorio concreto. El método de este estudio es la investigación documental. Se concluye que el marco jurídico europeo constituye una buena muestra de regulación de la inteligencia artificial y la necesidad de tener en Colombia un marco normativo que genere seguridad jurídica y minimice los riesgos.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo principal comparar la legislación chilena y europea relacionadas con pérdida y desperdicio de alimentos (PDA) con el fin de extraer lecciones de política pública. La metodología utilizada incluye una revisión de literatura de la PDA y un análisis DAFO de la legislación en ambos países. Los resultados muestran que a pesar de que Chile comenzó a abordar el problema aún quedan varios retos por enfrentar. Primero, las iniciativas y la legislación aún están muy fragmentadas y descoordinadas. Segundo, todavía faltan iniciativas que aborden el problema en una amplia gama de productos. Finalmente, hay una falta de información estadística sobre la PDA. Esto muestra que aún hay espacio para aprender de la legislación europea. Los resultados de esta investigación pueden aportar una línea base más precisa para el diseño de políticas públicas y estrategias relacionadas con la PDA y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) correspondientes.

El presente trabajo analiza cómo la guerra comercial entre la China e EEUU influyó en la aceleración de las negociaciones del acuerdo entre el MERCOSUR y la Unión Europea (UE) durante el período 2016-2019, culminando en la firma de un acuerdo en principio en julio de 2019. A través de una revisión de la literatura y entrevistas semiestructuradas con burócratas involucrados en las negociaciones, el artículo identificó tres cambios sistémicos que alteraron la percepción y la urgencia del acuerdo: el cambio en la política comercial exterior de los Estados Unidos durante el gobierno de Donald Trump y las respuestas de la Unión Europea y el Mercosur ante esta crisis. El marco teórico utilizado fue el Neorrealismo y los resultados señalaron la guerra comercial provocó cambios en las estrategias de los actores involucrados en las negociaciones, quienes optaron por un acercamiento para enfrentar los impactos de la crisis entre China y los Estados Unidos.

El derecho al voto, eje central en las democracias representativas, permite a la ciudadanía decidir sobre los asuntos políticos y está reconocido en los grandes tratados internacionales. Sin embargo, a pesar de que todos los países de la Unión Europea han ratificado la Convención internacional sobre los derechos de las personas con discapacidad (en adelante, la Convención) (ONU, 2006), muchas democracias europeas limitan o excluyen el voto de personas con discapacidad bajo tutela, además de imponer barreras técnicas que contravienen lo establecido en la Convención, afectando gravemente su autonomía y libertad. Este trabajo busca actualizar la situación jurídica del derecho al voto de este colectivo en Europa, analizando su evolución, los estándares internacionales y los derechos relacionados. Asimismo, destaca las barreras legales y técnicas vigentes que dificultan su participación política, exponiendo los sistemas jurídicos restrictivos y proponiendo buenas prácticas y medidas para garantizar un reconocimiento pleno del derecho al voto activo, sin restricciones ni impedimentos legales, en la Unión Europea.

The European Union emphasizes transparency and accountability as fundamental pillars of democracy, with the European Transparency Register serving as a clear example of the efforts made in this regard. These principles are crucial for preventing corruption, fostering citizen participation, and ensuring effective decision-making, all of which are vital for maintaining public trust in EU institutions. This study explores the meeting patterns between the European Commission and registered interest groups, seeking to establish a relationship between the economic or social nature of the portfolios and the interests represented by the entities they meet with. It hypothesizes a correlation between the economic nature of Commission officials' portfolios and their frequent meetings with interest groups defending material interests. Conversely, officials overseeing social portfolios are expected to meet more frequently with organizations that advocate for immaterial interests. Using a longitudinal analytical-descriptive approach, this study analyzes 24,587 registered meetings from November 2014 to October 2023, covering two legislative terms of the European Union. The results reveal that European Commission officials, regardless of portfolio type, predominantly meet with groups representing material interests, contradicting the expectation that social portfolios engage more with immaterial groups. This underscores the strong influence of economic interests on EU policy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adequate administration of Human Rights (HR) in business presents difficulties. The Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) constitute the key tool for good governance. Their approval in 2011 by the United Nations was a historic milestone. The core of the company's performance regarding the UNGPs is the Due Diligencess is critical for its implementation. As of 2020, the European Union (EU) initiated work on a Directive that will make Do Diligence mandatory. This article investigates, through in-depth interviews with company presidents and directors, the degree of preparation of BoDs for the new regulatory scenario in Spain, Portugal, France and Malta.

The European Union (EU) is considered a normative power today. It has achieved a prominent position in international trade and has consolidated itself as one of the main markets worldwide, factors that have allowed it to have a global influence in normative terms, making its norms taken as reference models. The global role of the EU has been analyzed based on its power components and its dimensions of influence, being considered a soft, civil or normative power, mainly due to its ability to influence through persuasion and attraction, rather than coercion. However, the influence of the EU as a normative power, in a globalized and increasingly uncertain world, remains a topic of debate and controversy, as some question whether the EU really has the capacity to influence, in an effective way, the global normative framework. Therefore, the purpose of this writing is to shed light on that debate, with the aim of defining and reflecting the degree of normative influence that the EU has at the international level.

FIFA and UEFA have been the associations in charge of organizing football competitions in Europe for years. On 18 April 2021, twelve major European clubs announced the creation of a new competition, the European Super League, bypassing the requirement to seek prior authorisation under the FIFA and UEFA Statutes. The sanctioning reaction of these bodies and the defence of some of the founders have given rise to a dispute that has reached the Court of Justice of the EU. The judgment, dated 21 December 2023, declared that UEFA's pre-authorisation rules (as submitted to the CJEU) were contrary to competition law. This judgment is likely to change the way sport relates to competition law, with the basic principles of the so-called «European Model of Sport» at stake. The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, it seeks to present a clear analysis of the Court's reasoning, in contrast to the Advocate General's Opinion in this case. On the other hand, it aims to analyse the context in which this judgment is framed and the impact it may have on the «European Model of Sport», which seems to be a socially desirable element for the EU institutions.

A few weeks before finalizing this article the final texts of both the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence (the so-called AI Act) and the Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law became known. Both regulatory initiatives are the outcome of a process of legislative, institutional, social, technological and economic debate that dates back several years and that is based on the conviction, as stated in the European Commission's White Paper on Artificial Intelligence, that artificial intelligence «will change our lives by improving healthcare (e.g. making diagnosis more precise, enabling better prevention of diseases), increasing the efficiency of farming, contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation, improving the efficiency of production systems through predictive maintenance, increasing the security of Europeans, and in many other ways that we can only begin to imagine. At the same time, Artificial Intelligence (AI) entails a number of potential risks, such as opaque decision-making, gender-based or other kinds of discrimination, intrusion in our private lives or being used for criminal purposes». In the following pages we will analyse the legal responses that have been given in Europe to the challenge of regulating AI in a manner that is not apocalyptic but not completely integrated either: how these rules define artificial intelligence, which principles underpin them, the choice for a risk-based regulatory approach, the structural differences between the EU Regulation and the Council of Europe Framework Convention, the treatment of general-purpose AI models, as well as the possible 'Brussels effect' and 'Strasburg effect' these rules may trigger.

Driven by the New Cold War between Russia and the West since 2014, this article draws on moral theory hinging on the conceptual framework of 'moral power' theoretically proceeding from 'civilian'/'norm ative'/'ethical' 'power Europe'. These are applied to the European Neighbourhood (Policy) (enp) as a prime test case composed of atomised case studies on a geographic terrain characterised by political, security, economic, etc. turmoil. Ontologically, the article bridges neorealism, constructivism, and critical theory to explain the latest developments in the EU's political neighbourhood. Epistemologically, it relies on the outside/in, bottom- up, inbound/outbound trajectories to grasp the local dynamics, regional interplay and the global context. Methodologically, it carries out qualitative discourse and quantitative content-analysis transcending from the 'pragmatic' and 'narrative' turns to interpretivism. This article a) demonstrates the theoretical convalescence from the 'normative power Europe' (npe) to 'moral power' deconstructing npe's core and minor norms and b) anatomises the enp through the seven 'parameters' of 'morality', namely, consequentialism, coherence, consistency, balance between values and interests, normative steadiness, inclusiveness and external legitimacy, and the relevant type of 'power', i.e. 'potential', 'actual', and 'actualised'. Thereby it 'constructs' a pyramid compartmentalising the EU's norms in line with purported objective morality, relative ethics and subjective normativity. Ultimately, beyond realpolitik, the article shows depletion of the npe, which induces (de-) valuation of the EU's 'moral power' through 'normative digressions' -- corrosion, derogation, deviation, perversion, erosion, conversion, subversion in tandem with 'moral distortions' -- morally utilitarian, unmoral, anti-moral, amoral, immoral, non-moral, and moralist.

The period 2019-2023 has experienced an exponential increase in irregular migratory arrivals on the West African route to the Canary Islands, considered the deadliest route of entry into Europe. The present research focuses on the study of the mortality of this migratory route and the different reasons underlying the displacement. In this way, European securitizing border policies are pointed out as the main causes of such increase and it concludes on the need to comply with the commitments of the Global Compact for Migration to protect the human rights of migrants.
