“…Moreover, the notion of ' critical institutionalism' more clearly reveals its roots both in materialist critical theory (Cox 1987) and in the historical institutionalism of Evans et al (1985). It builds on MacKay et al's (2011) feminist institutionalism and answers Krier's (2009) call for a critical institutionalism that recognizes the importance of institutions while examining the political and economic contexts (including the power relations) in which they evolve. In this article, we demonstrate how such an approach can illuminate the historical construction of 2GSSR in Haiti and in other FCAS.…”

In the literature on security sector reform (SSR), there is a debate between mainstream analysts of post-9/11 approaches, who argue that second-generation SSR (2GSSR) is emerging in some contexts, and post-colonial critics, who argue that despite discursive changes, Western-driven, securitized practices still dominate. This article bridges those views, building on Larzillière's (2016) idea that the diffusion of global power offers southern actors room for maneuver to construct alternatives to first-generation SSR. Grounding the debate in the Haitian case, the paper explores the mixed record of police and rule of law reform in that relatively permissive environment. It concludes that while some stakeholders have used Haiti's margin for maneuver to advance 2GSSR, powerful actors are privileging narrow security goals in a political and socioeconomic context that greatly constrains the consolidation of a new approach. The article concludes by situating the uncertain gains that have been made in Haiti in comparative thinking about the uneven prospects for 2GSSR in diverse fragile and conflict-affected states (FCAS).

“…5 Both Marx and Veblen have not built a theory which depends on an idea or an assumption about human or individual rather than that their approach accepts species-being of human and then underline evolving and changing form of this human as a concrete individual and as a concept. It is significant for our further discussion on rejecting neoliberal definition of individual and society and creating an alternative to it in which "homo-socius replaces homo-economicus" (Krier, 2009).…”

Neoliberalism is still main reference point of economic thought in economics departments of universities and hegemonic ideology of policy makers although it comes in harsh criticisms for policy outcomes particularly deepening global inequality from wide range of scholars, journalists and even some policy networks especially after 2008-9 financial crisis. These criticisms are meaningful in terms of questioning neoliberal hegemony even so the motto of neoliberalism which is “there is no alternative” has not been responded as “nope, there is an alternative” yet at least as a counter hegemonic position for global political and economic system. The article sets out to formulate the need of going beyond criticisms and creating a reference toolbox kit to face with neoliberal hegemony. Is it possible to create an alternative method of thought in economics via eliminating deficiencies of particular schools of thought? In particular, is it possible to create a holistic response from different schools of non-mainstream economics focusing on neoliberalism as a concrete case for objection? The answer is yes. In this study, three different schools of economic thought, evolutionary institutionalism, Keynesianism and Marxism are mutually considered and the theoretical possibility of a holistic opposition in different levels is affirmed in a way of their stances in against neoliberalism.

“…These are significant intellectual, institutional, and organisational resources that academic cooperation between sociology and economics can utilise, breaking old ideological barriers. For example, perspectives for integrating current ‘new sociological intuitionalism’ with core ideas of classical critical institutionalism thought in economics (first suggested by Torstein Veblen in the late 19th century) have been analysed by Krier (2009). Such initiatives might be helpful for shaping an adequate integral vision of economic life still lacking in the social sciences (Brown and Spencer, 2014: 950).…”

Making Global Sociology in the Context of Neoliberal Domination: Challenges, Ideology and Possible Strategies

This article discusses perspectives for making global sociology, which implies open and fruitful cooperation between sociologists from different locations, as well as enhancing our discipline’s positions in the field of social sciences and in extra-academic environments. Drawing on Wacquant’s ideas, we understand neoliberalism as a globally dominant approach to social regulation, combining market-oriented mechanisms in economic transactions and restrictive control apparatus based on the cultural imperative of individual responsibility, supported by the state. Intellectually rooted in European liberal tradition and supported by neoclassical economics’ conceptual frameworks, neoliberalism has shaped three interrelated challenges for global sociology: (1) Eurocentric conceptual apparatus within the discipline, (2) domination of economics over sociology in the field of social sciences, and (3) marketisation of the academic world, promoting direct ‘profitability’, and making ‘public value’ of scientific knowledge less relevant. We argue that these three challenges generate a tendency towards negative ideological unity across a significant number of sociological communities worldwide, which tend to see neoliberalism as a multifaceted common enemy. Despite being evidence-based, this emerging global ideological unity in sociology is problematic because it lacks a strong positive project. Instead of hostile attitudes towards internal and external agents affiliated with neoliberalism, the solidarity-oriented strategies may be helpful in building a truly global sociology.
