Die Hegemonie des Neoliberalismus

Abstract

"The European integration process is increasingly being marked by the guidelines of a liberalization program, which make their way not only on a European level, but also on a global one. Taking the European Union's Lisbon strategy and the strategy Europe 2020 as vantage points, we will show how these guidelines are received and interpreted in the framework of the European integration process and are kept relevant for the member states. Global guidelines, semantics and scripts reflected on a European level create a new legitimation context for national actors and - depending on the structure of the national fields - involve a change of national legitimation and expectation structures and thus a long-term transformation of governance and societal order. We argue that these developments are not sufficiently understood and explained by traditional research approaches. To arrive at a deeper understanding of this process, we propose a research approach combining John Meyer's world culture theory and Pierre Bourdieu's praxeological field theory."
