This dissertation investigates how legal and policy professionals have legally constructed the economic governance of the EU since the beginning of the Eurozone crisis onwards. It adds to scholarship on the Eurozone crisis by creating a theoretical framework based on Bourdieusian fields, while also utilising a network analytical approach, to show how the practices and interactions of legal and policy professionals reconfigure the transnational contexts that are implicated in the crisis policy response. It demonstrates that these professionals’ practices enable solutions that become contested before the Court of Justice of the EU, putting the Court in a position where it has to bring the definitional power of EU law to bear on the actions of EU institutions and the Eurogroup in the area of Economic & Monetary Union (EMU). In sum, the dissertation shows how legal and policy professionals developed practices, which are anchored in various logics, that have enabled and consolidated processes of legal integration and differentiation that have long-term implications for EMU.
