Akkumulation statt Transformation
Als Reaktion auf geoökonomische Spannungen und die Klimakrise hat die EU ihre industriepolitischen Aktivitäten deutlich verstärkt, was von weiten Teilen der Forschung als post-neoliberaler Kurswechsel interpretiert wird. Wir hinterfragen diese Deutung am Beispiel von InvestEU, dem zentralen Garantieinstrument der neuen EU-Industriepolitik, das private Investitionen durch Risikoabsicherung mobilisieren soll, und zeigen, wie die Architektur des Pro…
Benchmarking labour competitiveness
The New EU Industrial Policy
The EU has implemented a whole array of industrial policy programmes over the past decade to bolster the competitiveness of selected knowledge-intensive industries and to induce a digital and green transition. Responding to shifting competitive challenges in global capitalism, and the adoption of industrial strategies by other major economies, the new EU industrial policy seeks to onshore manufacturing capacity in sectors of geoeconomic importanc…
The New EU Industrial Policy and Deepening Structural Asymmetries
In response to the 2008 financial crisis and rising competitive pressures from emerging markets, EU industrial policy has made a major comeback. One of the flagship policies is Smart Specialisation, which is located at the intersection of industrial and cohesion policy, and which serves the twin purpose of catalysing the transition of manufacturing sectors to innovative Industry 4.0‐type technologies, as well as inducing social and territorial co…
Competition Laws and Their Enforcement in the Project of European Integration
Ordoliberals believed that the exposure of corporations to ‘complete’ competition would boost the competitiveness of entire economies and increase social welfare for society at large. Ordoliberals were staunch proponents of a strong state that would fight economic concentration and thereby ensure a free competitive market order composed of equally matched players. Even though a range of Ordoliberals ascended from their enclave in Freiburg and too…
Housing as a site of accumulation in Amsterdam and the creation of surplus populations
The new EU industrial policy
In 2017, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker declared the re-industrialization of the European Union (EU) a top priority. The new EU industrial policy seeks to boost industrial competitiveness and leverage investments into manufacturing, thereby increasing industry’s share of EU Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to 20% by 2020. What may appear to be a Keynesian industrial policy and thus a move away from the EU’s previous neoliberal agen…

The ascendancy of neoliberal competition regulation in the European community / A ascensão da regulação concorrencial de caráter neoliberal na Comunidade Europeia
DOI: 10.12957/dep.2016.26511 Resumo O presente artigo trata do processo de reorientação das políticas de regulação econômica da Comunidade Europeia a partir dos anos 80 em direção a uma concepção neoliberal de economia. A partir de uma perspectiva crítica, os autores analisam como o discurso neoliberal foi progressivamente ganhando espaço e voz entre os principais atores políticos europeus e como ele conseguiu se consolidar como matriz hegemônica…
From dissent to resistance
Anarchism as emancipatory theory and praxis
Whereas Marxist literatures are almost automatically considered 'critical' in canonical overviews on critical approaches, anarchism is often sidelined. Scholarly engagements between Marxists and anarchists, moreover, can be overshadowed by orthodox platitudes. This article explores 'the critical' in anarchism and identifies the anarchist transformative praxis of prefiguration, propaganda by the deed and direct action as the crux of what it means …
Lehman Brothers in the Dutch offshore financial centre
Credit intermediation outside the regular banking system, or shadow banking, has increased immensely over the past decade. This paper situates this increase against the backdrop of the structural problem of overaccumulation, and thus the absence of profitable reinvestment opportunities in the production sphere, in addition to the scarcity of high-quality collaterals. Zooming in on Europe’s offshore world and Dutch conduit structures in particular…
Uneven Development and Political Resistance against EU Austerity Politics
Explaining (Missing) Regulatory Paradigm Shifts
The global financial and economic crisis has prompted some scholars to suggest that a fundamental regulatory shift away from neoliberalism will take place – both in general and in the field of EU competition regulation. This paper shows that so far no radical break with the neoliberal type of competition regulation is heaving into sight. It sets out to explain this from the vantage point of a critical political economy perspective, which identifi…
Competition, the Global Crisis, and Alternatives to Neoliberal Capitalism
Since the mid-1980s, and particularly throughout the first decade of the twenty-first century, the imperative of capitalist competition has become a totalizing and all-pervasive logic expanding to ever more social domains and geographical areas around the world. Sustained by neoliberal competition regulation and other regulatory provisions, excessive competition (over-competition) in the process of capital accumulation has become a major global f…
The Political Interface of Financialisation and the Regulation of Mergers and Acquisitions in the EU
Prior to the outbreak of the current global economic and financial crisis,\nthe sheer number and volume of mergers and acquisitions set historically unprecedented\nrecords. A vast share of these transactions were undertaken by short-term oriented\nfinancial market actors, including private equity houses, hedge funds and other\ninstitutional investors. The article explains the adoption and ensuing adaptations of\nthe supranational merger control a…
The Politics of European Competition Regulation
The Politics of European Competition Regulation provides an original and theoretically informed account of the political power struggles that have shaped the evolution of European competition regulation over the past six decades. Applying a critical political economy perspective, this book analyses the establishment and development of competition regulation at European Community and national level since the 1950s. It puts forth the central argume…
Revisiting 50 years of market-making
The article analyses the evolution of European competition policy. It is argued that the content, form, and scope of competition regulation has undergone a major transformation over the past fifty years, which is related to broader socio-economic developments. Until the mid-1980s, competition policy formed part of the institutional nexus of the postwar order of ‘embedded liberalism’, underpinned by a Fordist accumulation regime and Keynesian welf…

Enhanced Roles of Private Actors in EU Business Regulation and the Erosion of Rhenish Capitalism
The 2004 antitrust reform is the most important change in the history of EU competition policy. It amounts to a major shift in both the mode of regulation (towards private enforcement) and the substance (towards the Anglo‐Saxon model). These changes erode crucial elements of the Rhenish variety of economic organization
