Supranational State Power: The European Union, CapitalMarkets and the Political Economy of the Digital and Green Transition

在寻求将欧洲经济转变为绿色和数字经济的过程中，欧盟正在转变为一个类似国家的实体。欧洲资本市场联盟委员会（CMU）和欧洲风险资本市场最近的举措表明，欧洲第一个风险投资基金正在发展，以直接持有股权并共同投资于创新公司。这一转变尚未被当前的政治经济学文献所解释。在询问欧盟对绿色和数字化转型挑战的政治反应时，我想知道过去十年来这一监管过程是如何发挥作用的，以及什么利益服务于这一新趋势。但最重要的是，我有兴趣了解建立一个有利于绿色和数字转型的法律的基础设施的尝试是如何改变欧洲政治的性质的。我将依靠一套创新的混合方法，特别是定量文本分析和访谈。通过文本分析和文本重用，我将能够发现隐藏的影响和协调模式，无论是金融和非金融公司，国内和跨国。我将说明经济话语和新话语人物的起源，以及政策如何从一个阶段演变到另一个阶段。依靠对高级政策制定者和行业代表的采访，我将对参与者的潜在动机做出因果声明.

In seeking to transform the European economy into a green and digital economy, the European Union is transforming into a state-like entity. The recent initiatives by the European Commission on Capital Markets Union (CMU) and the European Venture Capital Market show the development of the first European VC fund to take direct equity stakes and co-invest in innovative firms. This shift has not been accounted for by the current political economy literature. Interrogating the political responses of the EU to the challenges of the green and digital transformation I ask how this regulatory process has played out over the last decade, and what interests serve this new trend. But most importantly, I am interested in understanding how the attempts to build a legal infrastructure that favors the green and digital transition is transforming the nature of European politics. I will rely on an innovative set of mixed methods, in particular quantitative text analysis and interviews. Through text analysis and text reuse, I will be able to uncover hidden patterns of influence and coordination, bothfor financial and non-financial firms, domestically and transnationally. I will illustrate the origins of economic discourses and new discursive figures, and how the policies have evolved from one stage to another. Relying on interviews with senior policy-makers and industry representatives I will make causal claims about theunderlying motivations of actors.
