Les dynamiques socio-économiques du Hirak Algérien : un facteur souvent ignoré
(2023-09)
• In 2019, Algeria experienced one of the largest popular uprisings the country has ever seen in its post-independence history: the Hirak.
• The crisis had been looming for several years, as shifts in the political elite increased. The end of the financial boom exacerbated this process.
• Between 2015 and 2018, oil and gas export revenues declined by an average of 14% per year.
• Socioeconomic factors ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Algerian hirak.

Reporting Power
(2024)
An eclectic genealogy (Foucault, 1977) that reconstructs the previous understanding and emergence of a ‘taken for granted’ global practice: the practice of suspicious activity reporting. A governance practice whereby financial institutions worldwide document and report the conduct of consumers deemed suspicious. At the center of this practice is a material artefact, a multipage fillable form called the Suspicious Activity Report. Following Actor-Network Theory (Latour, 1987), the form also serves as the centerpiece ...

Climate Change and Consumption Patterns in Latin America: The Urgency of a Structural Transformation
(2024-02)
• Climate change obstructs Latin America's development, affecting the economy, society, and the environment. A substantial investment is needed for the 2050-2070 deep decarbonization process.
• Latin America's unsustainable development in the last five decades has boosted consumption, employment, and poverty reduction but falls short in addressing chronic poverty and high-income concentration. This undermines economic dynamics and exposes society to climate change impacts.

Ordoliberalism Out of Order? The Fragile Constitutionality of Greek Austerity (Part Two)
(2020-06)
This is the second part of a two-part post. The first part, available here, considered the historical background of the concept of constitutional order and its relation to the ordoliberal project. Judicial independence was examined in parallel with central bank independence, with each understood as a means of insulating policy from social and democratic pressures and also as a means of enacting and maintaining fiscal discipline and market-conforming order. It also included some preliminary observations on the relation ...

Ordoliberalism Out of Order? The Fragile Constitutionality of Greek Austerity (Part One)
