“…One of the most significant political objectives of neoliberalism has therefore been to reconfigure, institutionally, and reconstitute, politically, the workings of democratic structures and processes and, in particular, how they relate to the organization and workings of the economy (see Bonefeld and Kiely in this symposium; Brown, 2015;Dardot and Laval, 2014;Harvey, 2005;Peck et al, 2012;Plehwe et al, 2006). Such goals have been significantly achieved across much of the liberal democratic world.…”

This paper examines the contradictory relationship between the political economy of neoliberalism and the politics of the far-right. It seeks to identify and explain the divergence of the 'economic' and the social/cultural spheres under neoliberalism (notably in articulations of race and class and the 'politics of whiteness') and how such developments play out in the politics of the contemporary far-right. Through this we also seek to examine the degree to which the politics of the far-right pose problems for the consolidation and long-term stabilization of neoliberalism as a social regime of capital, through acting as a populist source of pressure on the conservative-right and tapping into sources of alienation amongst declassé social layers. Finally, we locate the politics of the far-right within the broader atrophying of political representation and accountability of the neoliberal era with respect to the institutional and legal organization of neoliberalism at the regional and international levels, as most obviously highlighted in the ongoing crisis of the EU and Eurozone.

“…Legislative reforms are thus dictated by the basic norm of competition and the relevant rules are envisaged and applied in order to organise, to facilitate and to stimulate competition itself, and it is exactly this idea that rules are necessary for the proper functioning of competition that lies at the heart of this new model of governance. 65 The basic norm of competition governs the judicial sphere also. By 'govern' we do not simply refer here to the influence of a dominant ideology on judicial interpretation, but to the perception of competition as the 'Grundnorm' upon which the whole regulatory system is founded.…”

This article considers the impact of the economic, social and political crisis on the labour law regimes of two of the Member States of the European Union most affected; Greece and Ireland. Both countries have been the recipients of 'bail-out' deals, negotiated and monitored by what has become known as the 'Troika' of the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The article considers the extent to which both countries have been required to make amendments to their labour law regimes, as a condition of their bail-outs. It argues that the changes demanded reflect the basic norm now governing the EU legal order, namely that of 'competition'; the logic of market integration based on the primacy of economic competition.

“…It is widely agreed that what distinguishes neoliberalism as both a theory and a practice is not the withdrawal of the state from the market but the extension of the market into new domains (Brown 2006;Mirowski 2013;Dardot and Laval 2014;Harvey 2007): it establishes 'a general regulation of society by the market' (Foucault 2010: 145 Rather than searching for a non--existent outside, Marxist thinkers have analysed the ways in which our entire social world is increasingly subsumed under capitalism, such that 'all activities are productive' (Negri 1989: 204): even formally non--capitalist activities are harnessed to produce and appropriate surplus value or to reproduce capitalist social relations. Although this subsumption has sometimes been referred to as 'extra--economic accumulation' (e.g.…”

argues that the former contains superior resources with which to challenge the current dominance of neoliberalism. In order to elucidate the strengths of Marxism, it addresses three common anarchist criticisms of Marxism concerning: its authoritarian strategies; its economic reductionism; and its lack of moral or ethical perspective. It argues that each of these criticisms inadvertently highlight the advantages of Marxism over anarchism. The aim of the article is not render anarchism obsolete but to respond to claims of an anarchist turn and subsequent calls for left convergence by highlighting the continuing vitality and strength of Marxism and raising questions for those who advocate an anarchist politics.
