Why did countries back shared EU debt during COVID-19🦠 after rejecting it in the euro crisis? @tiagomramalho.bsky.social explains how a new “solidarity coalition” formed in 2020 and what it reveals about changing ideas of responsibility in the EU.

For anyone keen on reading a bit more about Portuguese elections, now that the government fell, I also wrote a short piece on the previous one, which took place one year ago almost to the day. It was published in the Green European Journal. www.greeneuropeanjournal.eu/a-portuguese...

A Portuguese Middle-Age Crisis?
Fifty years after the democratic transition, Portugal is facing a deep political crisis of which the growth of the extreme right is the most dangerous symptom.

The Portuguese government fell today, after losing a confidence vote in Parliament. We'll have new elections in May. Also today, my piece on the PT elections for the EU Parliament ('Second Order or Second Round?') was published in Politique Européenne. It can be read here: tinyurl.com/hnh6m5n2

In the piece we discuss how the EU response to the pandemic crisis constituted a major reconfiguration of economic governance, as well as a shift in how we think about "responsible" government in the EU. It's a special issue with great colleagues, so make sure to explore it all!

I like how Bluesky's feed invites people to seek interactions and mutuality rather than merely an audience. The starter packs seem to be part of that. To be honest, even academic twitter was getting very spectacular.

Tiago Moreira Ramalho @tiagomramalho.bsky.social · 17/11/2024
The trouble with the "anti-system" language is that it propagates the idea that MAGA & Co want to "dismantle" the state (an appealing idea for those not feeling they're getting a lot from it). Gamble, Pierson et al. showed that was not the case in the Thatcher-Reagan period. It's not the case today.

The NYT published this a couple of weeks ago, but it's a good illustration of how "anti-system" projects are "system takeover" projects. The Musk's case is too egregious to ignore. www.nytimes.com/2024/10/20/u...

Tiago Moreira Ramalho @tiagomramalho.bsky.social · 17/11/2024
Thinking and writing about the state has gone a little out of fashion. Not the least (ironically, perhaps) when we speak about electoral politics. Perhaps this methodical takeover of the courts, all sorts of executive branches and media infrastructure will force us to "bring the state back in".

Tiago Moreira Ramalho @tiagomramalho.bsky.social · 17/11/2024
The Trump appointments show how inadequate the "anti-system" frame is. These actors don't want to break the "system" (the state apparatus, really); they want to control it. They are not against a "deep state"; they want their own. MAGA & Co are, perhaps above all else, good old state projects.

EU authorities are changing rules on regional cohesion funds (good chunk of the budget) to invest in defense projects. For all the talk about 'rules', the EU offers a great deal of experimentation. But defense policy by stealth might be a little too far in that game. www.ft.com/content/eb0d...

As I listen to too many 'what went wrong' takes, I'm struck by the dominant narrative around Democrats needing to leave 'woke' stuff aside. I followed the campaign closely and Harris barely spoke of societal issues. Meanwhile, MAGA was pushing anti-trans rhetoric down people's throats every second.

This will be four more years of youtube channels, podcasts, and tiktok content geared towards MAGA ideology. People voting for Chega, FI, RN, PVV or FPO don't really form a mass ideological movement, not the least because they don't understand each other. But all can listen to Rogan and friends.

Tiago Moreira Ramalho @tiagomramalho.bsky.social · 11/11/2024
As we speculate about the impacts of a second Trump presidency in Europe, I really worry about 'bottom up' political effects. The MAGA movement has been a common source of much ideological work in Europe's far-right, especially as it travels well -- and increasingly better -- through the Internet.
