Market Integration and Governance: How Globalization Spurred a Backlash Against Itself

Critics of globalization associate contemporary economic ills, ranging from growing economic inequality to deindustrialization, with the integration of world markets since 1990. But economic integration also had a political effect: while fueling significant growth, governments in this era found that their autonomy to intervene in domestic markets was severely constrained. This constraint on economic intervention was due to market, institutional, and doctrinal factors.

Negotiating the Recovery and Resilience Facility: The Emergence of Coordinative Conditionality

This paper analyses the design and negotiations of the National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) which the EU member states were required to formulate so as to access the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). By focusing on three Eurozone members (Austria, Greece, and Slovakia) which represent distinct voices and experiences within the EU integration project, we argue that a new form of conditionality, coordinative conditionality, can be identified.

World of the Right: Radical Conservatism and Global Order

The contemporary radical Right is not merely a series of nationalist projects but a global phenomenon. This book shows how radical conservative thinkers have developed long-term counter-hegemonic strategies that challenge prevailing social and political orders both nationally and internationally. At the heart of this ideological project is a critique of liberal globalisation that seeks to mobilise transversal alliances against a common enemy: the ‘New Class’ of global managerial elites who are accused of undermining national sovereignty, traditional values, and cultures.

Eye, Robot: A Generative AI Approach to Measuring Subjective Assessments from Street View Images at Scale

We introduce a new method for measuring subjective perceptions at scale using innovations in both crowd-sourced image data and transformer-based computer vision technology. We aim to uncover the relationships between perceived neighbourhood conditions and political outcomes, potentially offering new insights into how urban environments shape politics. Our approach relies on a novel dataset of 360-degree street-level images from Mapillary, a non-proprietary crowd-sourced alternative to Google Street View.
