💡 Lecture Spotlight: Budgeting and Borrowing in the EU

At the EGPP Annual Conference 2026, the inaugural Brigid Laffan Lecture will dive into one of the most critical forces shaping the future of European integration: how the EU finances its priorities.

Delivered by Brigid Laffan (University of Limerick and European University Institute) with insights from discussant Waltraud Schelkle (EUI), the lecture explores "Budgeting and borrowing in the European Union above and below the political radar".

What to expect from the discussion:
🔹 How fiscal choices and joint borrowing mechanisms are re-shaping EU governance
🔹 The political dynamics behind budgetary decisions, both in high-stakes public debates and behind closed doors
🔹 What these financial structures mean for the resilience and solidarity of the Union amid ongoing global crises

This sector is not only dealing with declining letter volumes, but with the emergence of a much more complex delivery ecosystem: multi-network, multi-service, increasingly parcel-oriented, and deeply interconnected with digital platforms, e-commerce, automation and data.

This transformation brings both challenges and opportunities.

➡️ Submit a proposal for a Research Paper presenting original research or a Policy and Practice Paper offering concise, evidence-based analyses of concrete policy, regulatory or operational questions, and join us for the 35th Conference on Postal and Delivery Economics and Policy in Nice, France.

📍 5–7 May 2027

Can we tell history simply as a story of progress? What do we miss when we do?
⤵️
Progress for some groups in society can coincide with setbacks for others. Understanding these complex and sometimes contradictory experiences is at the heart of an intersectional approach to history.

In this short interview, recorded on the occasion of the 2026 Yves Mény Annual Lecture, Professor Benno Gammerl reflects on how intersectionality can help us understand both the past and European societies today.

Drawing on contemporary debates around immigration, women's rights, and LGBTQ+ rights, he discusses how the rights of different groups can be positioned against one another. He also explains why individual life stories are essential to capturing the complexity of people's experiences and writing histories that reflect it.

Is Europe developing the foundations of a European ? How has Europeans’ sense of identity and attachment to Europe changed over time?

➡️In his new article, James Dennison, Professor at the Migration Policy Centre, revisits a longstanding question in European politics: whether Europeans share a strong enough sense of identity and attachment to Europe for the political community to function effectively.

Using Eurobarometer and European Social Survey data from 1992 to 2024, the article looks at how European and have changed across the continent.

The findings point to a notable shift: while European identity developed unevenly during the 1990s and 2000s, attachment to Europe has increased markedly since then across almost the entire continent. Large majorities in most European countries now say they feel attached to Europe, including in countries where this was a minority view not long ago.

The analysis also shows that attachment to Europe generally exceeds attachment to the European Union, highlighting a distinction between Europe as a broader political and social community and the EU as its principal institutional expression.

What do these changes tell us about the foundations of a European demos? And what could they mean for collective political action in Europe?

How does power shape EU migration politics? 20 scholars take up this question in a book co-edited by Gerasimos Tsourapas and Irene Fernández-Molina

Across twelve chapters and twenty authors, the volume 'Migration Power Europe: between norms and leverage in the EU's global role' examines how the EU governs migration through externalisation to neighbouring and transit states, through interdependence rather than direct territorial control, and through the hybridisation of humanitarian, developmental, security, and diplomatic rationales, sustained by financial, legal, infrastructural, and symbolic architectures.

How is the European Union shaping its fiscal future—both above and below the political radar?

This year, Emeritus Professor Brigid Laffan will deliver the inaugural Brigid Laffan Lecture, 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐫.

Negotiating the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) has always been a highly conflictual process, riven by structural cleavages over how the EU is funded and where its resources should be spent.

But while formal budgetary negotiations command the spotlight above the radar, how has the Union’s fiscal power expanded beneath it?

Analysing the current MFF negotiations and the likely Zone of Possible Agreement (ZOPA), Laffan will explore why lending and borrowing have become central to the EU’s financial toolkit, and what consequences follow from building up a debt stock without much political scrutiny.

Why does intersectionality matter when we look at contemporary history?

At today’s Yves Mény Annual Lecture, Professor Benno Gammerl examined German contemporary history through an intersectional perspective, asking what becomes visible when established narratives of social progress are complemented by individual life stories.

Germany’s history since 1945 includes various success stories, from the economic miracle and welfare states promoting equality to liberalisation, democratisation, and the growing acceptance of sexual diversity. Yet the same developments can have very different effects on different groups of people.

Drawing on individual biographies and histories of Black, q***r, and migrant-feminist activism, Gammerl explored how different forms of discrimination can intersect, but also how people have built alliances and solidarities across different experiences and identities.

💬 “Success stories and concerted histories of averages need to be complemented with and complicated by unruly and uncommon stories.”

Intersectional perspectives, he concluded, can help trace diverse and contentious histories that allow us to better understand the present.
