Xavier DIEUX

Xavier DIEUX is a Professor affiliated with the Royal Academy of Belgium in Brussels, specializing in Economic Law and its intersection with market economies and social governance. His work examines how legal frameworks shape economic systems and corporate behavior, with particular focus on judicial roles in economic regulation.

His research spans Economic Law, Corporate and State Social Responsibility, Market Economy Regulation, and Algorithmic Governance. DIEUX critically analyzes how legal systems can address economic inequalities while preserving individual freedoms and democratic processes, with emphasis on the tension between regulatory efficiency and freedom of dissent.

DIEUX's publications demonstrate consistent engagement with contemporary economic challenges. His work shows increasing focus on algorithmic regulation's societal implications, the evolving role of judges in economic governance, and the philosophical foundations of market fairness. He examines how quantitative logics in regulation might sterilize public debate and subordinate individual freedom to technocratic solutions.

Notable contributions include his book The Empire of Things which questions whether planetary salvation justifies eliminating freedom of dissent, and his 2022 lecture Corporate and State Social Responsibility: Towards a New Government of Judges? which explores judicial influence on corporate governance.

DIEUX actively participates in academic discourse through the Royal Academy, contributing to debates on market economy fairness and the legal frameworks needed to balance economic efficiency with social responsibility. His work emphasizes maintaining democratic processes within regulatory systems while addressing complex economic challenges.
