“EU Better Regulation… doesn’t depoliticise. It reshapes politics.” From a presentation at SNES at Linköping University, Brigitte Pircher @brigittepircher.bsky.social (with Miranda Thulin & Swapnil Vashishtha) shows how “good regulation” is being redefined—without changing the rules.

Why do “independent” institutions become politicized? In Regulation & Governance @reggovjournal.bsky.social, Brigitte Pircher @brigittepircher.bsky.social shows how institutional design itself can generate contestation. doi.org/10.1111/rego... Congrats, Brigitte! 👏

Non-majoritarian institutions are designed to depoliticize policymaking and enhance the credibility of regulatory decisions. Yet many such bodies have become sites of contestation, exposing the limit...

📈 More laws, more policies, more regulations. But administrations aren’t growing at the same pace 🚨 This mismatch risks poor services, unequal treatment & frustration. That’s where #SUPA comes in: from 2025–2028, we’ll study how to improve rule design & strengthen modern democracies 🏛️✨
