I’m excited to share that my first book came out this summer! The book looks at how EU state aid cases become politicised (and de-politicised) and what this means for the EU’s legitimacy. At its core, the book shows how competition policy is never just technical, but also deeply political.

Great piece especially in showing how the Trump administration is able to weaponize the budget against universities. One should ask if similar methods could be used in one's own jurisdiction. Spoiler for the Germans: probably yes.

Le compte officiel de l'ambassade des Etats-Unis en France en vient désormais à nier l'importance des *faits* dans une démocratie. Et emprunte le phrasé habituel (« élites mondiales ») des complotistes de tous poils. Quelle incroyable déchéance sans fin pour un tel pays.

Message sur X U.S. Embassy France @USEmbassyFrance

Nous devons démanteler l’industrie de la vérification des faits qui censure les opinions impopulaires auprès des élites mondiales.
