The application of Article 107(3)(b)TFEU in systemic banking crises: The need for a new State Aid Crisis Framework for the European Banking Sector in light of the European Commission’s interpretation of the “serious disturbance” exemption as a response to the 2008 financial crisis.
O'Sullivan, Patrick (NUI Galway, 2019-09-27)The 2008 financial crisis illustrated the problems that arise when EU State aid rules are relaxed and Member States are allowed to prop up ailing banking sectors. Member States in effect become subject to a constant drain ... -
Common knowledge, pragmatic enrichment and thin originalism

Should we use commitment contracts to regulate student use of cognitive enhancing drugs?
Danaher, John (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-08-12)Are universities justified in trying to regulate student use of cognitive enhancing drugs? In this article I argue that they can be, but that the most appropriate kind of regulatory intervention is likely to be voluntary ... -
