From the EU side, very interesting dymanic to watch. My guess is once the red lines of customs union and/or single market fall, the conversation will very quickly zoom in on (re)joining vs. the current state.

#Brussels is to blame for migration, the #UN is failing to prevent wars, and austerity is on the #IMF.

Scapegoating #IOs is supposed to be an easy and frequent move in politics.

In a new piece for #EUIdeas, I challenge these claims based on insights from recent studies at #EUI & #LMU.
