Huw Macartney examines the conflicting movements gripping Europe.
He explains why 'more Europe and less democracy' seems to be the
order of the day. He argues that state managers responses reflect a
long-term disquiet about the economic consequences of democracy.
Through a critical engagement with ordo-liberal and neo-liberal
intellectual traditions, Macartney explains why participation and
consent have given way to coercion and depoliticisation. Financial
speculation and growing social unrest have thus fuelled attempts to
further mystify the political character of economic policymaking.
This comes at precisely the time when the everyday life of European
citizens is most affected by the decisions of political classes at
the heart of Europe. There are strong reasons to believe though
that the kind of violent outbreaks in Greece and elsewhere point to
the limitations of this authoritarian, undemocratic governing
strategy. The end-result could prove devastating for Europe.
