Abstract

Recent European Union law is concerned with the reconstruction of the Union’s capacity to act, within a context where the material, normative and legal bases of European integration are deemed to be under threat. This gives rise to a transformation of the Union in the form of a ‘geopolitical Union’ and a reconceptualization of EU law in the form of ‘resilient EU law’. This contribution raises the question of whether resilient EU law is capable of responding to deep scepticism and resentment underpinning European societies about social dispossession, cultural threat and ecological collapse. At this critical moment in Europe’s history, we need more than just resilient EU law: we need a resisting EU law that is receptive to social reality and reflexive about its own conceptuality
