About the blog
European Futures
Our mission
European Futures is an academic blog which provokes thought and debate on the issues facing Europe today. The blog is an online platform providing commentary, analysis and insight on Europe and European affairs, broadly defined, from academics and practitioners. The initiative is part of the Edinburgh Europa Institute and features contributions from colleagues within the University of Edinburgh and across Europe and beyond.
We welcome contributions on all aspects of European integration (on the EU and other European multilateral organisations) and European states, including wider Europe and the European neighbourhood. Published topics and themes have included politics, economics, law, social policy, human rights, education, labour, health, business, markets, institutions, environment, energy, media, culture, migration, identity and public opinion. European Futures was created by Anthony Salamone and launched in June 2015.

Academic Editor : Dr Arianna Andreangeli
Arianna Andreangeli’s research interests lie in the area of EU and domestic competition law, both substantive and procedural. She is especially interested in exploring how the competition rules can be effectively applied so as to safeguard genuine rivalry in the market while safeguarding the concerned actors’ economic freedom and incentive to innovate and invest.
