Description for A Ruined Fortress?: Neoliberal Hegemony and Transformation in Europe
Paperback. This volume draws on one of the key strands of theoretical innovation in international relations - critical political economy or transnational historical materialism - to develop a comprehensive and consistent analysis of processes of European integration. Editor(s): Cafruny, Alan W.; Ryner, Magnus. Series: Governance in Europe Series. Num Pages: 336 pages. BIC Classification: 1QFE; JPSN2; KCP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 148 x 227 x 18. Weight in Grams: 430.
Arguing convincingly that mainstream theory lacks the tools to adequately explain European integration, this challenging book draws upon critical political economic theory to develop a more comprehensive and consistent analysis of the processes of integration. Although not claiming that states have ceded their role as masters of the treaties, the contributors develop innovative case studies of national and transnational processes to illustrate the salience of trans-European business networks and the primacy of neoliberalism as central organizing concepts of the post-Maastricht European project.
