The book is an exploration, on both theoretical and empirical
grounds, into the nature and the transformation of the state in the
neoliberal era. Nowadays, a widespread crisis of legitimation
affects the institutions and authority of the state; similarly, and
especially after the Great Crisis of 2008 to present, the European
project is increasingly questioned by populist and neo-nationalist
forces, which politically advance in the state and society, and
promote further coercive-oriented reconfiguration of state powers
and apparatus. The 'nationalist international', the 'new populists'
and/or the 'rise of new international fascism' are questions on the
verge of international scholarship and political debate. However,
many of these studies often miss the specificity and critical
importance of the study of the state and of state (institutional
and ideological) powers; even more importantly, the phenomenon of
populism/neo-authoritarianism is interpreted by the mainstream as a
clear break with traditional centrist parties, with the result of
neglecting the past authoritarian tendencies that accompany the
entire history of neoliberalism. This book aspires to be a guide
for political activist and policy-makers: specifically, by showing
how the state is of critical importance to the making of
neoliberalism in institutional and cultural terms, it also aims to
rethink the state as the arena of politics and, accordingly, as the
key site to promote alternatives to neoliberalism.
