Session 2: New Model of State Emerging from the Economic Crisis
Discussion topics:
- To what extent are modern states influenced by the economic crisis? Critical issues: structure, functionality, effectiveness and democratic representation.
- The severity of the current crisis in some countries has led to a political crisis in which the legitimacy of political institutions has been called into question. How is reconstruction going to take place?
- How is the EU transforming and adapting to the new circumstances and responding to the economic challenges?
- Are we facing a new phase of the Weberian state or neo-liberal governmentality?
