La suspensión de la libre circulación de inversiones extranjeras en España por la crisis del COVID-19 (The Suspension of the Free Movement of Foreign…
2020
Spanish Abstract: La libre circulacion de inversiones es uno de los mantras que ha caracterizado la modernidad economica. El principio, sin embargo, se encuentra sometido a creciente prevencion, en el marco de una vision critica hacia la globalizacion en un mundo en pleno reajuste geoestrategico. Una de las manifestaciones de esta tendencia reciente de empoderamiento del Estado se refleja en la articulacion de mecanismos de control de las inversiones foraneas que le permitan evitar que sectores claves de la economia nacional caigan en manos de inversores extranjeros, en muchas ocasiones, controlados por Estados competidores. A diferencia de lo que ocurre con los paises de nuestro entorno, E…
Emotional and Rational Frames Contained in Institutional Speeches
2022
This chapter analyses the institutional speeches of six European leaders (N=19) to identify the emotional and rational frames used when explaining the measures implemented to address the first wave of COVID-19. The results of the analysis show the importance of frames of different categories, and the trust and leadership shown by political leaders, who sought to give speeches that would provoke a feeling of security in citizens based on their capacity to lead. Emotionality, built on values such as protection, gratitude, social sacrifice, and citizen unity, is rounded off with a rational approach based on science and economics. With none of the leaders being populist, their personalities wer…
Europeanisation as a driver of dependent financialisation in East-Central Europe: insights from the Baltic states
2021
The aim of this paper is to contribute to advancing the academic debate on dependent financialisation through a focus on East-Central Europe. In doing so, the paper identifies the role of Europeanisation as a driver of dependent financialisation using the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania as case studies. The paper makes two main contributions to the literature on dependent financialisation. First, it argues that, through the establishment of 'financial chains', dependent financialisation creates asymmetric co-dependencies and bilateral risks between the 'dependent' economies in the (semi-)periphery and the financial actors in core countries. While the (semi-)peripheral economi…
COVID-19 y libre circulación de inversiones: un (muy) difícil matrimonio (COVID-19 and Free Movement of Investment: A (Very) Difficult Marriage)
2020
Spanish Abstract: Las inversiones extranjeras estan siendo objeto de una aproximacion mas cautelosa y critica en los ultimos anos en gran numero de paises. Una posicion que se refleja en su regimen juridico y se manifiesta, entre otros extremos, en el diseno de mecanismos de control previo con base en su eventual contrariedad con la seguridad nacional del pais receptor. La pandemia del COVID-19 no ha hecho sino acentuar esta tendencia. La posicion mantenida por la UE al respecto, y la suspension de la libre circulacion de inversiones decidida por el Gobierno espanol son manifestaciones de ello que, todo apunta, han venido para perdurar. English Abstract: In recent years, foreign investment …
Football Without Football: Creativity in German Football Coverage by TV Broadcasters and Clubs During the Coronavirus Crisis
2020
During the COVID-19 pandemic, TV broadcasters and clubs were challenged to provide alternative formats and content for fans of Germany’s favorite sport, football [soccer]. Thus, they emulated matchdays and created a Bundesliga feeling in new ways. The authors focus on this alternative creative sports coverage during the Coronavirus crisis and consider the effect on the audience. TV broadcasters, for instance, recreated Bundesliga matchdays through broadcasting historical matches, sticking with the original fixtures from before the crisis, while offering renewed commentary. Clubs conducted the Bundesliga Home Challenge, that is, FIFA20 videogame matches with their professional and eSport pla…

2021
The paper analyses the situation of the contracts to provide services that persons or sport organisations agree with their students in the context of expanded health crisis worldwide caused by the coronavirus. Given the diverse background of the readers, reference to specific national or local regulations will be avoided. Instead, general principles of the service contract contained in some studies that have dealt with the transnational harmonisation of private law are considered.

International audience
Faut-il avoir peur du covid ?
2020
International audience; Examen de la situation sanitaire française à la fin août 2020 d'après les statistiques de Santé Publique France. Depuis le début de la crise, il n'y a jamais eu aussi peu de patients hospitalisés-ni en réanimation-pour Covid. La mortalité se situe à un niveau très bas (le virus est associé à moins de 1% du total des décès en France). La maladie a disparu de plus de la moitié du territoire national et ne reste active, à un niveau très bas, que dans l'Ile-de-France et dans quelques zones situées sur les grands axes de communication ou sur des lieux de vacances. Il existe de nombreux indices d'une atténuation du virus, phénomène classique dans les épidémies virales. Cep…
Resilience, security and the politics of processes
2014
The prominence of resilience thinking in contemporary governance and security policies has received increasing critical attention. By engaging in dialogue with some of these recent critiques, predominantly leaning on biopolitics or neoliberal governmentality, this article develops an Arendtian reading of resilience as a temporal regime of processuality. Originating from life sciences such as ecology and complexity thinking, the increasingly malleable resilience discourse privileges the functioning of societal life processes over political action and human artifice. The article argues that this ‘rule of nobody’ is in danger of suffocating the concept of public space, so crucial for politics …
