Over recent years, or even decades, issues such as globalisation, technology, globalised wars, migration, or Brexit have accentuated two phenomena. The fi rst is the distributive effects of law and of globalisation, and the second is the inadequacies in the political processes and outcomes where governments get rightly or wrongly blamed. These two phenomena inspired the theme of the 16th annual Jean Monnet seminar on advanced issues of EU law (Inter University Centre, Dubrovnik, April 2018) titled ‘Blame It on Brussels: EU Law and the Distributive Effects of Globalisation’. This editorial note is based on the authors’ keynote dialogue at the opening of the seminar and seeks to discuss the mentioned two phenomena, and consider what law and governments, and in particular the EU, can do about them.

责怪布鲁塞尔：欧盟法律与全球化的分配效应

在最近甚至几十年中，诸如全球化，技术，全球化战争，移民或英国退欧等问题加剧了两种现象。首先是法律和全球化的分配效应，其次是政治进程和结果的不足，而政府应受到责怪。这两种现象激发了第16届年度吉恩·莫内（Jean Monnet）年度研讨会主题的主题，该研讨会主题为``责备布鲁塞尔：欧盟法律和全球化的分配效应''，主题为``在布鲁塞尔谴责欧盟法律和全球化的影响''（杜布罗夫尼克国际大学中心，2018年4月）。本社论说明基于研讨会开幕式上作者的主题演讲，旨在讨论上述两种现象，并考虑法律和政府（尤其是欧盟）可以对它们做些什么。
