The question of social dumping has again climbed the EU policy agenda. In this article, we call into question some established views of social dumping that conceptualize the relationship between EU internal market and Member States in binary terms. Based on an analysis of relevant case law, and drawing on the conceptual tools provided by critical legal geography, we show that the project of EU integration relies as much on the scalar differentiation of powers as it does on the ‘upward’ shift of powers from the national- to the supra-national level. We propose an understanding of EU internal market law as productive of a ‘labour law patchwork’, defined by the simultaneous fragmentation and overlap of labour law regulations across and within EU Member States. Here, we re-conceptualize cross-border social dumping as a ‘game of jurisdiction’ – a set of strategic moves by actors within a multi-scalar and multi-jurisdictional space.

作为“管辖权游戏”的跨境社会倾销——迈向欧盟内部市场劳动关系的法律地理*

社会倾销问题再次登上欧盟政策议程。在本文中，我们质疑社会倾销的一些既定观点，这些观点将欧盟内部市场与成员国之间的关系以二元形式概念化。基于对相关判例法的分析，并利用批判性法律地理学提供的概念工具，我们表明欧盟一体化项目既依赖于权力的标量分化，也依赖于权力的“向上”转移。从国家到超国家层面。我们建议将欧盟内部市场法理解为“劳动法拼凑”的产物，其定义是欧盟成员国之间和内部的劳动法法规同时分散和重叠。这里，
