Economically speaking, we have witnessed a ‘democratization of consumption’ with the gradual spread of a consumerist culture of ‘luxury’: having emerged with the […]
How can the aporia of the ‘European people’ be resolved?
Dossier: The Greek Symptom: Debt, Crisis and the Crisis of the Left
by Étienne Balibar / RP 181 (Sept/Oct 2013) / Article
The question that I deal with here is by no means a purely speculative one. It certainly evokes theoretical notions from different disciplines and from philosophy, but it does so because of a specific economy of circumstances, a crisis of economics, in a particular place (Greece), which happens to be at the origin of the whole apparatus of ‘concepts of politics’ by means of which modernity thinks its own history, […]

The Erosion of Liberal Democracy
by William E. Scheuerman / RP 093 (Jan/Feb 1999) / Article
A growing number of progressive intellectuals now claim that the transnational character of many present-day political tasks overwhelms the existing capacities of liberal democracy. The ongoing internationalization of capitalist production and financial markets, unparalleled movements of immigrants and refugees across borders, the spectre of ecological disaster: the global character of each of these problems allegedly cries out for new forms of global political coordination. In this view, the marriage of […]
