Abstract

This paper explores why major external shocks often lead to incremental adjustments in EU policymaking rather than deeper integration or disintegration. The empirical puzzle arises from the EU’s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing energy price crisis, which—despite challenging the foundations of the common power market—resulted only in limited reforms to the EU electricity market design.
