Does EU law secure political belonging, or just facilitate a market? @anabobic.bsky.social uses Hegel to critique this structural tension at the 2026 Max Planck Masterclass (26–29 May, Heidelberg). Apply by tonight to join the debate and young scholars workshop: www.mpil.de/de/pub/forsc...
A poster with a bright green to dark teal gradient background. At the top center is the circular white logo of the Max Planck Society featuring the profile of Minerva. Below the logo, white text reads: "HEGEL AND EU LAW, MAX PLANCK MASTER CLASS 2026, WITH ANA BOBIĆ." The text "MAX PLANCK" appears at the bottom center.A portrait of Ana Bobić smiling, standing in front of shelves filled with orange Max Planck Institute publications. Below the photo, against a dark teal background, a quote reads: "Nation-states know what they are; they are sites of social production and political belonging. The EU is torn between two identities: a market identity and a political identity. That is specific to it, and the hierarchies reflect that tension." The name ANA BOBIĆ appears at the bottom.

Imagining transnational solidarity in the EU through Hegel’s idea of mutual recognition
How do EU constitutional scholars define solidarity? For the most part, solidarity is used as a political soundbite for something that is generally seen as ‘good’ or normatively desirable.

Socialism is not Liberal Moralism on Steroids
Socialists don’t need to appeal to morality and justice. Unlike liberals and conservatives, they can point out how the world works, and how our political imagination is constrained as a result.
