Economic sanctions have become a defining tool of US foreign policy, from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to tensions with Iran. Their reach extends far beyond target states, shaping the behaviour of foreign governments, companies, and financial institutions. But how did the US come to wield this kind of extraterritorial economic power?

🏦 In this interview, Max Weber Programme Fellow Flavia Canestrini explores the US sanctions in globalising markets. Through the case analysis of the 1981-1982 Siberian gas pipeline dispute, she illustrates not only how US extraterritorial sanctions function, but also how they adapted to the changing conditions of the global economy between the end of the 1970s and the 1980s.

☀️ Florentine heat outside, PhD-level economics inside 📈

The EUI Department of Economics welcomed 18 participants to the third edition of its summer school ‘The Core’, an intensive week of study designed to prepare participants for the rigorous training of a PhD in Economics.

📚 Across five days, an international group of students tackled four core areas - Mathematical Economics, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Statistics & Econometrics - through lectures, exercises, assignments, and an introduction to computational tools.

💬 Lei Wu, EUI PhD researcher and instructor in Statistics & Econometrics: “What I found particularly rewarding about teaching at this year’s summer school was the opportunity to work with a highly motivated and diverse group of participants.”

‘The Core’ is funded by the EUI Widening Europe Programme, supporting access to high-quality research training and contributing to a more connected European academic community.

💬 For Giullia-Elena Neagu from Romania, the summer school offered both academic preparation and an opportunity to engage with an international group of peers: “The classes were well-structured, combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills while allowing us to learn from the lecturers’ expertise. The diversity of the participants also enriched the programme, fostering meaningful academic dialogue and the exchange of different perspectives.”

How do EU member states fund and roll out the technology to clean up Europe’s fossil fuel industry?

🌍 In a piece for , Marzia Sesini and Adrien Nicolle from the EUI’s Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, together with with Burçin Ünel from New York University, explore what constitutes good carbon capture policymaking.

📝 In their view, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is not only a financial challenge but also a policy design challenge. A good CCS policy requires governments to determine how costs, risks, and responsibilities should be shared across the value chain as the technology develops.

🗣️ "Ultimately, achieving Europe’s CCS goals depends not just on the amount of public funding alone, but also on how governments allocate risks and responsibilities across the value chain, while remaining consistent with climate objectives."

🌍 In a new piece, Policy Leader Fellow Teopolina Namandje highlights a critical weakness in EU-Africa health partnerships — namely, the difficulty of transferring tacit expertise — and explores strategies for strengthening pharmaceutical manufacturing in Africa.

🗣️ "With Africa’s pharmaceutical market projected to reach $50 billion by 2030, the opportunities are significant. Manufacturing medical products on the continent can strengthen supply chains, reduce dependency, create jobs, boost healthcare provision, and support broader industrial development. But getting to this point will require strong institutions coupled with technical capabilities."

As Italy considers changes to its citizenship law, Maarten Vink, EUI Chair in Citizenship Studies and Co-Director, compares the country’s rules with those of 31 other European states.

Eleven of the 32 states examined grant citizenship at birth to some children of immigrant parents, while Italy does not, except where a child would otherwise be stateless.

Vink also challenges the idea that citizenship should come only after successful integration. Research suggests that access to citizenship can itself act as a catalyst for integration, including through better educational outcomes. 🇪🇺

In the latest article, Benno Gammerl, Riccardo Bulgarelli, and Zsófia Veszely from the EUI's Department of History, examine the conservative discourse surrounding the Berlin Pride attack.

🗣️ ''Conservative parties claim to defend the liberties, also of q***r people, while historically they have depicted q***r communities as a threat to the family and Christian morality. Now they publicly lament LGBTIQIA+ people as civilian (not q***r) victims to promote tighter surveillance of Islamist groups and more restrictive migration policies.''

🏳️‍🌈 Through an exploration of the long history of ''homonationalism'' in Europe, they argue that Islamism is only one part of the broader picture when it comes to violence against LGBTIQ+ communities. Rather than embracing “homonationalist friends” who use LGBTIQ+ rights to advance discriminatory agendas, they encourage LGBTIQ+ activists to build broader alliances with q***r, feminist, anti-racist and other inclusive movements to tackle anti-q***r violence.

"Two people can be given the same facts about immigration and still believe different narratives."

In this video, James Dennison (Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies) discusses the new book he co-authored with Andrew Geddes, out now with Oxford University Press.

He unpacks why immigration narratives are so hard to pin down: most are technically true, but highly selective in what they include, which is why the same facts can lead one person to link immigration to crime and another to economic growth. Drawing on decades of pan-European data, the book also sets out a five-step guide to communicating about migration more effectively.

The unprecedented border crossing into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta prompted strong political reactions across Europe. Most European governments called for a response from EU officials and called for the elimination of all policies that could be considered “pull factors” of illegal migration to Europe.

🗺️ In the latest article, Karla Žeravčić and Marco Mauer, researchers at the EUI's Department of Law, examine whether calls for stronger border controls by 22 member states align with EU law.

🗣️ "What is presented politically as a permissive migration policy is, in legal terms, largely the implementation of obligations that already bind all EU member states. The decision does not grant anyone the right to remain in Spain or to move onwards to other member states. Rather, it simply requires Spain to apply the formal procedures in these instances."

“Every corner I look around, there’s a memory of my time here.”

For Diego Garzia, his time at the EUI was shaped by research, community and the many connections he made along the way.

A Jean Monnet Fellow at the Robert Schuman Centre, Diego reflects on his time at the Institute, from helping create the EUI voting advice application to the friendships and memories that stayed with him.

His advice to those at the EUI today? Make the most of your time up on those hills, and don’t miss Coppa Pavone!
