It was a pleasure to host @leaypi.bsky.social for our annual Adam Smith Lecture and seminar. Special thanks to Mirjam Mueller and Jan Kandiyali as visiting discussants for lively seminars on Lea's work on territorial rights and moral socialism.

Quote from our published article by author Marco Goldoni: “LPE provides EU lawyers with a set of analytical tools for the appreciation of how central the design of the political economy is in the project of European integration."

How does Law and Political Economy work without a central sovereign?

MARCO GOLDONI (@uofglt.bsky.social) show that the study of European Union Law from the perspective of Law and Political Economy can offer valuable insights.

Yesterday we had a fantastic @lsjleeds.bsky.social seminar by Marco Goldoni (@uofglt.bsky.social) on his new project defending a needs-based conception of social rights. It sparked a lively Q&A - Leeds is certainly the place to talk about social rights! Grazie for making the trip down, Marco 🤗
