Abstract

The European Union is undergoing a structural transformation—a regression from integration through law as an anti-hegemonic project of equal membership to a condition in which member state orders, under a transformed European Union law, gravitate around unequal relations of subordination. Alongside the surveillance mechanisms that constrain the member states to conform to the requirements of the Economic and Monetary Union are private law arrangements (the “memoranda of understanding” qua “contracts”) that equally, and with greater force, produce subordination. Adopting a critical comparative-historical approach, this Article delves into Europe’s collective legal memory, and the past of colonial relations, to make intelligible the deployment of the memoranda contracts whose harsh terms have been dramatically changing the condition of the “debtor countries” for the worse; in the arcana of private law lies the truth about the changing condition of sovereign power in contemporary Europe and about the potential to change direction and counter the “jurisdomination” turn.

欧洲的新转型：至宝

摘要

欧盟正在经历结构性转变-从通过法律整合成为平等成员制的反霸权项目，到成员国在经过改造的欧盟法律下以不平等的从属关系为重心的情况下，逐步回归。除了是约束成员国以符合经济和货币联盟的要求，监督机制是私法的安排（以下简称“谅解备忘录” QUA“合同”）平等地产生更大的从属地位。本条采用批判性的比较历史性方法，深入研究了欧洲的集体法律记忆和殖民关系的过去，以使谅解备忘录合同的部署变得可理解，该备忘录的苛刻条件已大大改变了“债务国”的条件。更差; 在私法的奥秘中，存在着关于当代欧洲主权权力的变化状况以及改变方向和抵抗“管辖权”转向的潜力的真相。
