Northern Realignment? Explaining Nordic Consent to NextGenerationEU
This article explains the consent of the European Union's (EU) Nordic member states to NextGenerationEU (NGEU). Broad domestic consensus against EU‐level fiscal federal measures, based on what the growth model literature calls labour‐inclusive export‐based growth models, was overcome through two channels. Despite principled opposition in public, Nordic governments responded almost instantly to the changes in German preferences in the ‘Moravcsik c…
Silent revolution/passive revolution
Do the EU Recovery Plan and Green Deal (EGD) break with disciplinary neoliberalism? Eschewing binary 'yes or no' answers, this article draws on Gramsci's idea of passive revolution as 'progressive restoration' to analyse these important developments in the European political economy. It offers a balance sheet of 'progressive' and 'restorative' elements and argues that these cohere in an integral response to geopolitical pressure and legitimation …
Is European monetary integration structurally neoliberal? The origins of the EMS and the 1977–1978 locomotive conflict
European “Integration”
European integration has until recently suffered from relative neglect in Marxist research and analysis. Nevertheless, Mandel and Poulantzas made foundational contributions to Marxist theorization of European integration in the late 1960s and early 1970s: these have had a lasting influence of the rapidly emerging scholarship of the present. This entry provides a broad overview of Marxist analyses and debates about European integration while argui…
Welfare Capitalism in Post-Industrial Times
The structure of ‘post-industrial’ economies is widely held to be problematic for welfare capitalism, because of inherent limits to productivity growth in services compared to manufacturing. The so-called post-industrial trilemma is suggested to allow only two of relative earnings equality, high levels of employment and fiscal balance, and has resulted in the widespread policy belief that greater earnings inequality and welfare state retrenchment…
The European Union and Global Capitalism
Regulation Theory and the Political Economy of the European Union
European integration theory considers to what extent the EU can realize a telos where American pluralism is the template. Not without merits, but considering the financial and eurozone crises fatally, such perspectives elide power relations and attendant contradictions and irrationalities that are constitutive of transatlantic integration itself. Regulation theory, which synthesizes the reformist ethos of Europe's postwar statist tradition and Ma…
Europe's ordoliberal iron cage
Orthodox integration scholarship failed to identify the factors leading to the euro area (EA) economic and financial crisis because of weaknesses that Horkheimer identified in ‘traditional’ theory: disciplinary splits and a tendency to idealize from particular instrumental perspectives. By contrast, critical political economy offered a plausible and coherent elucidation of the emergent properties and limits of finance-led capitalism and their con…
Joined at the hip, but pulling apart? Franco-German relations, the Eurozone crisis and the politics of austerity
The (International) Political Economy of Falling Wage Shares
This paper relates the financial and monetary dimensions of the contemporary economic crisis to working-class agency via a central concern of classical political economy: the distribution of surplus between the chief factors of production. The fall in the wage share of value added is now accepted as a stylised fact in the empirical economic literature. This paper argues that the punctuated pattern of the development validates the regulation theor…
US power and the crisis of social democracy in Europe's second project of integration
This chapter draws on the work on Poulantzas to argue that European social democracy is in crisis because European Integration since the 1980s has been articulated within a relationship of structural subordination to US-led financial capital, to which European capital has itself increasingly gravitated. This has also been the determining parameter of the state-as-social relation, and contradicts the post-war welfare settlement. Against this backd…
Financial Crisis, Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy in the Production of Knowledge about the EU
Although the financial/Eurozone crisis has profound effects on the EU, European integration scholarship failed to even recognise that there might be a problem. This article argues that this is due to the highly orthodox nature of European integration scholarship and the blind-spots that inhere in its instrumentalist basic code. It makes the case for a heterodox recasting of the production of knowledge about the EU, and argues that post-Keynesian,…
Swedish Trade Union Consent to Finance‐led Capitalism
Why do actors that may be expected to contest finance‐led capitalism in crisis periods rarely do so in effective and sustainable ways? This article contributes to the understanding of this question by explaining the sudden and puzzling silence of trade unions during the 1990–94 Swedish banking crisis. It underlines the importance of working within certain time‐scales in prioritized policy areas for shaping strategic selectivity and precluding eff…
Third Way decomposition and the rightward shift in Finnish and Swedish politics
Recent elections in Sweden and Finland are of note for contemporary politics. They confirm that the rightward shift in Nordic politics is not confined to Norway and Denmark but forms a more general trend. This includes increased appeal of both mainstream conservatives and populist radical right forces. This article contextualises this phenomenon within broader European developments. In accounting for the shift in question, the article stresses th…
An Obituary for the Third Way
Why has the financial crisis not served as an occasion for social democratic revival? It is because, with the ‘Third Way’, European social democracy became imbricated with the financial system in crisis to such an extent that it is in no position to offer an alternative to it. The financial crisis is the crisis of the Third Way. Furthermore, the Third Way was based on the faulty premise that it was possible to replicate USA's apparent success in …
Social Forces and the Effects of (Post)-Washington Consensus Policy in Africa
This article addresses the consequences of Washington Consensus and more recently post-Washington Consensus policy for democratic good governance in Africa. It acknowledges the increased focus in recent years of policy-makers on poverty as an important force in world politics. Despite this increased concern the authors argue that International Relations as a discipline fails to offer a suitable framework for understanding poverty as a social forc…
Renegotiating the Swedish Social Democratic Settlement
Steering a middle course between the strong neoliberalization thesis and arguments that deny that neoliberalization has occurred, this article accounts for the complex and hybridic shift in Sweden from pension reform through share ownership as a socialist strategy to an as-of-yet incomplete and contradictory neoliberal process. Noting the broader significance of Sweden for the international debate over pension reform, the article unpacks the conc…

Neo-liberalization of Social Democracy
Capitalist Restructuring, Globalization and the Third Way
This book addresses the contemporary debate about the 'third way' in European social democracy, by analysing the exemplar case of social democracy - 'the Swedish model' - this book challenges the recent 'third way' perspective. The author argues strongly against the widely held belief that the nature of contemporary capitalist restructuring and globalisation has rendered traditional social democracy obsolete.

Neoliberal Globalization and the Crisis of Swedish Social Democracy
This article analyses the crisis of the Swedish Model from a transnational perspective. An introductory section defines and gives analytical meaning to the term 'neoliberal globalization'. The article then specifies the relationship between domestic and international, as well as necessitarian and contingent, determinants in the crisis of Swedish social democracy.

Assessing SAP's Economic Policy in the 1980s
This paper applies a historical structural, regulation-theoretical approach to interpret Swedish economic policy in the 1980s. It is argued that the market-oriented long-term assumptions of the 'third way' were flawed, and constituted an inadequate response to the crisis of the Swedish (Rehn-Meidner) Model. It violated the already increasingly brittle terms of legitimation of the 'moral economy' of solidaristic wage policy. Although such a violat…
