Many thanks to @karolinapomorska.bsky.social & Emilian Kavalski for including me in their special issue! I am grateful for meeting many amazing scholars from the region along the way: Magdalena Góra, @natsty.bsky.social, @tomasweiss.bsky.social, @gnoutcheva.bsky.social, Jozef Batora, Stefan Cibian

More broadly, the findings highlight the justificatory role of stereotypes in multilateral negotiations and how exogenous shocks can reshape their meaning.

Using an interpretive approach, the analysis shows an emerging transformation of stereotypes about the region, which is starting to be recognised for its historical insight into #Russia.

Borrowing from social psychology, I propose a novel lens to study perceptions about #CEE governments in #EU external policy through the concept of regional stereotypes.

The findings show that while the Monetary Dialogues may lack the intensity of congressional hearings, the ECB is [surprisingly] held to a higher standard of accountability than the Fed.

Analyzing over 1,000 parliamentary questions and their respective answers, I reassess the common assumption that congressional hearings with the Fed ensure stronger parliamentary accountability than the Monetary Dialogues with the ECB.

Congratulations Tom, great event and amazing book!!!

Fantastic initiative 👏! Could I also be added please?

Empirically, we study the European Parliament in the Economic and Monetary Union, focusing on the Economic Dialogues in the ECON Committee during 2014-19. The article is available here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

We build a structural account of the variation of questions in legislative oversight that includes two drivers: (a) the legal framework of the oversight relationship at play; and (b) the nature of the policy activity under scrutiny.

The 3rd position is separate and focuses on the Council of the EU: www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/vacancies...

If you have any talented master students/graduates interested in pursuing a PhD in EU studies, European public administration, or working with experimental methods, please send them my way!
