The article does so through the concept of \u2018European society\u2019, read via Simmel\u2019s conflict theory, proposing it as a legally grounded and sociologically plausible term that synthesizes 70 years of European integration. Antagonists have not disintegrated European society, but have rather propelled it, despite their likely intentions. By substantiating this claim, the article answers the leading questions: what does Europe stand for? And what is its place in the wider world? On the question of how to enhance Europe\u2019s collective agency, it suggests that \u2018society\u2019 does so by providing a helpful \u2018collective singular\u2019 that grasps the collective of the Europeans. As for the role of EU law and EU lawyers, the article defends \u2018integration through law\u2019. EU lawyers can and should continue developing innovations that serve ever closer union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Von Bogdandy, Armin (2026): \u201eEuropean society and its antagonists\u201c.
