“…As Honneth writes: 'The unique characteristic of this model of society [of Parsons, G.F.] is its claim that all social orders, without exception, must legitimate themselves in the light of ethical values and ideals that are worth striving for'. 9 Second, such an immanent procedure ultimately entails an element of historical teleological thinking. 'The critique of society can be based on ideals within the given social order because at the same time it can justifiedly show that they are the expression of progress in the process of social rationalization'.…”

The article is focused on the role that the question of neoliberalism plays in Axel Honneth's work. The author aims to show that when Honneth tries to conceptualize the very nature of the neoliberal transformations, he is forced to abandon some of the presumptions that underlie the systematic approach developed in his most important work, Freedom's Right. It seems to emerge from Honneth's studies on neoliberalism, not only the difficulty of analysing the capitalist market economy as a sphere of social liberty, as presupposed in Freedom's Right, but also a much less consensual and teleological image of contemporary societies -an image in which norms and values are always intertwined with mechanisms of power, social integration is always also based on the exercise of domination, force and ideology and the capitalist can also exist without a background of shared normative orientations. The author suggests finally that, in order to give a better account of the neoliberal transformations, one should rediscover the importance of the original Gramscian category of cultural and political hegemony.

“…70 He has also supported the non-normative vs normative distinction along the lines of the 'thin' vs 'thick' recognition introduced by Wendt 71 and later developed in the peacebuilding literature (see above), 72 with only 'thick recognition' being liable to being broken down into his 'love', 'respect', and 'esteem'. 73 Therefore, incorporating 'thin' or 'minimal' recognition 74 into the typology advanced here makes sense as long as their distinct non-normative nature is taken into consideration. 75 As a second step, in order to discern the significant others and causal mechanisms that are contextually fit for frozen conflict conditions, this taxonomy needs to be accompanied by three transnational corrections.…”

Bottom-up change in frozen conflicts: Transnational struggles and mechanisms of recognition in Western Sahara

This article proposes a typology of causal mechanisms whereby transnational relations of recognition constitute conflict actors in frozen conflicts. While the agency of an emerging conflict actor manifests itself in ‘struggles for recognition’ motivated by experiences of ‘disrespect’, responses from different significant others vary in terms of motivations and pathways (mechanisms of recognition). Adapting Honneth’s tripartite division, the typology distinguishes between four forms of recognition: thin cognitive recognition, ‘respect’/rights, ‘esteem’/difference, and ‘love’/empathy. Three transnational corrections are made in order to include transnational relations of recognition, non-state actors, and unstructured social-relational forms of international/transnational recognition. The typology is applied to the conflict of Western Sahara, which has been reshaped by the rise of internal Sahrawi pro-independence groups (based inside the territory annexed by Morocco) as an increasingly relevant conflict actor, with their identity shifting from victims to human rights activists to activists involved in an unsolved conflict. This identity and social-status formation has been the product of transnational recognition from three significant others: the annexing state (Morocco), the contested state-in-exile (SADR), and the international community. The overall effect of intermingling recognition processes, including various instrumental initiatives deprived of mutuality, has been increased struggle and conflict complexity rather than ‘recognitional peace’.

“…The second is Axel Honneth's (2012) The I in We, a collection of essays that develop Honneth's theory of recognition in terms of a theory of justice, social reproduction and individual identity formation. Reviews are given by Weber (2014), Murray (2014) and Heins (2014), and a detailed response is provided by Honneth (2014).…”
