Markets and society

When high finance cripples the economy and corrodes democracy

The current financial crisis is not confined to economies, writes former Romanian finance minister Daniel Daianu. The erosion of the middle class, the spread of extremism and the threat to democracy are some of the more obvious social effects demanding attention. [Danish version added] [ more ]

The organized upperworld

"Osteuropa" analyses Hungarian politics in upheaval; the "Dublin Review of Books" says together, small EU-states are strong; "Reset" asks Napolitano what Einaudi would have done; "Le Monde diplomatique" (Oslo) goes deep into debt; "dérive" inspects the foundations of Red Vienna; "Esprit" says home-owning is not the solution to the French housing crisis; and "Studija" urges western art critics to get past Cold War clichés.

Leila Brännström, Anders Johansson, Sharon Rider, Malin Rönnblom

What is the state of critique today?

A conversation with Anders Johansson, Sharon Rider and Malin Rönnblom

Is what is taken to be critique today merely confirmation of the moral consensus? In the neoliberal culture of the audit, has critique been deprived of its role as check on ideology? And does preference for impact-oriented research produce political compliance rather than independent critical thought? [more]

Sverker Sörlin

The new boundaries of mankind

Modernist humanism, in which individual rights and freedoms are won at the expense of the natural world, is entering into ever greater tension with the new emphasis on interconnectedness. Sverker Sörlin on the scientific renegotiation of concepts of humanity and nature. [more]

Cas Mudde

The populist radical Right: A pathological normalcy

According to the conventional view, the far-Right in Europe is antithetical to the values of liberal democracy. New research showing that far-Right ideology is a radicalization of mainstream values has a major impact on how rightwing populism is understood, writes Cas Mudde. [more]

Magnus Ryner

An obituary for the Third Way

The financial crisis and social democracy in Europe

The Third Way made a virtue out of the necessity to adapt social democracy to the global market. But when the US system on which it was modelled collapsed, European social democracy was in no state to offer an alternative, argues Magnus Ryner. [more]

Rasmus Fleischer

The revenge of the beer fiddlers?

The regulation of amateurs in musical life

Cultural professionalism is not the simple expression of an all-embracing economic logic, but generated and sustained by specific institutions, writes Rasmus Fleischer. A history of the three hundred year-old struggle between professional and amateur musicians in Sweden. [more]

Anders Ramsay

Marx? Which Marx?

Marx's naturalistic understanding of value as being inherent in a commodity has led many interpreters to see money and credit as surface phenomena. In doing so, they overlook the contemporary role played by credit in the reproduction of capital, writes Anders Ramsay. [Macedonian version added] [more]

Åsa Knaggård

Inexact science

Climate policy between experts and politicians

Climate policy is heavily dependent on expert opinion. Yet uncertainty surrounds the science of climate change, and in particular the 2°C target. Does politics' reliance on inexact science disqualify its decisions? Not necessarily, writes Åsa Knaggård. [more]

Olle Sahlström

Migration: a lever for union renewal?

The trade union is at a crossroad. Immigrant workers must be included in the unions. Either one chooses to try classic methods of organization, or entirely new directions which risk a widening of the gap between the white, male worker aristocracy and the poor, exploited migrant worker. [more]

Beverley Skeggs

On the economy of moralism and working class properness

An interview with Beverley Skeggs

"Respectability is not only about cleaning your house but also, literally, about existing as a citizen." Beverley Skeggs criticizes theories of intersectionality for their tendency to group categories that are in complex relation to capital. [more]

No coffee

What is it about coffee – and coffeehouses – that makes it so agreeable to the bourgeoisie? asks Jakob Norberg in a brief social history of the dark, rich brew. And of the bourgeois public sphere. [more]

Jamie Peck

The creativity fix

In Richard Florida's "creative city", the creative class dissolves the classical division between the productive bourgeoisie and the bohemian. But creativity strategies have been crafted to co-exist with urban socio-economic problems, not to solve them. [more]

On Jacques Rancière

Politics begins when inequality is challenged, according to Jacques Rancière. But if the political subject is by definition the subject of a wrong, how can politics operate outside a victim discourse? [more]

Eurolocal perspectives towards the EU

Imagining the European Union as a nation-state

In Bulgaria, the EU has replaced the nation-state as a symbol of authority. Nevertheless, regional identity won't get lost, since regions "are a configuration of liminalities that overlap and accrue, providing different options". [more]

Saskia Sassen, Magnus Wennerhag

Denationalized states and global assemblages

An interview with Saskia Sassen

"The liberal state has been hijacked for neoliberal agendas," says Saskia Sassen in interview. It is necessary to repossess the state apparatus for genuine liberal democracy and to create a "denationalized state". [more]

The EU: Broken or just broke?

http://www.eurozine.com/comp/focalpoints/eurocrisis.html
Brought on by the global economic recession, the eurocrisis has been exacerbated by serious faults built into the monetary union.

Changing media -- Media in change

Media change is about more than just the "newspaper crisis" and the iPad: property law, privacy, free speech and the functioning of the public sphere are all affected. On a field experiencing profound and constant transformation. [more]

Katajun Amirpur
Islam and democracy
The history of an approximation

http://www.eurozine.com/articles/2011-12-19-amirpur-en.html
In Iran, official revolutionary dogma has obliged "post-Islamist" philosophers to provide profound justifications for Islam's compatibility with democracy. Katajun Amirpur puts contemporary Iranian thinking on religion and politics in the context of Khomeini-era anti-westernism. [more]

Per Wirten
Where were you when Europe fell apart?

Too many Europeans have too long avoided the question of Europe, says Swedish writer Per Wirten. To prevent the EU from turning into a "post-democratic regime of bureaucrats", intellectuals need to stop mumbling and take the fear of Europe seriously. [more]

Roma integration: EU rhetoric and institutional reality

European member states are answerable to the European Commission regarding the integration of Roma. But what are the chances of national policies succeeding if structural anti-Roma racism exists within European institutions themselves? [more]

Europe talks to Europe

http://www.eurozine.com/comp/europetalkstoeurope.html
Nationalism in Belgium might be different from nationalism in Ukraine, but if we want to understand the current European crisis and how to overcome it we need to take both into account. The debate series "Europe talks to Europe" is an attempt to turn European intellectual debate into a two-way street. [more]

Steve Sem-Sandberg
Even nameless horrors must be named

http://www.eurozine.com/articles/2011-09-23-semsandberg-en.html
It is high time to lift the aesthetic state of emergency that has surrounded witness literature for so long, writes Steve Sem-Sandberg. It is not important who writes, nor even what their motives are. What counts is the "literary efficiency". [more]

Eurozine's series of essays aims to provide an overview of diverse literary landscapes in Europe. Covered so far: Croatia, Sweden, Austria, Estonia, Ukraine, Northern Ireland, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Hungary. [more]

Tymoshenko: Wake-up call for the EU

The EU shouldn't be surprised by the Tymoshenko verdict: its support of anything nominally reformist has been perceived as acceptance of a range of repressions, argues Mykola Riabchuk. [more]
