Land Rights for Change? On the Impasses of Cultural Politics for Economic Change
(2023-09)
Property relations have long been at the centre of social justice considerations and efforts for socio-economic change. Since the 1990s ethnic minorities who often happen to live in particularly biodiverse regions of the planet have started to challenge these often exploitative relations by claiming formal property rights based on territorially defined cultural identities. Originally celebrated by various critical schools of thought as a turning point in global neoliberal hegemony and a promising manifestation of ...

Working paper
Theorising Postdevelopment
(2023-11)
The paper seeks to define and situate postdevelopment (PD) theory within the social sciences by discussing its relation to other theoretical approaches. It concludes that PD can be seen to a rather limited extent as a development theory, but rather as a sociology of knowledge of this discipline and a critiqu e of its foundation. PD shares the critique of capitalism with Marxism but also has a more negative view of industrial modernity, its relation to nature, economic growth and productivity. For some, PD is characterized ...

Europe’s authoritarian shift
(2023)
The European Union prides itself for being a legal order and a supranational organisation created through, and organised around, a specific institutional framework and an ordoliberal-inspired “rules against discretion” approach. Theories of ‘integration through law’ abound and the European Monetary Union (EMU) remains a unique common currency area structured within a constitutional framework. Officially, the formal priority of treaties, mandates and the European legal framework are presented as the sine qua non of ...

Buch
Staat und Staatlichkeit im digitalen Zeitalter
(transcript, 2023-11-01)
Wie steht es um den Staat im »digitalen Zeitalter«? Der Wandel des Staates in der Leistungsdimension und der Staatlichkeit in der Steuerungsdimension ist eher die Regel als eine Ausnahme. Für die 1990er-Jahre wurde er mit dem Modellwechsel vom »intervenierenden Leistungsstaat« zum »kooperativen Gewährleistungsstaat« als Transformation beschrieben. Im Angesicht der »Digitalisierung« und weiterer Megatrends zeigen sich die nächsten tiefgreifenden Wandlungsprozesse. Samuel Greef beleuchtet den neuen Mix aus Steuerungsformen ...

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.
Dissertation
Ordoliberalism and the Making of the Economic Constitution: State, Law, and Money in the Market Economy

The aim of my research is to explore the political economy of ordoliberalism in its historical trajectory. Beginning from the years of its inception during the interwar period, the dissertation focuses on the specific conditions and political economy of the Weimar Republic as the framework within which the ordoliberal framework was developed. Moving on to the postwar period, the dissertation examines the attempts of operationalization of the ordoliberal framework within the context of West Germany and the social ...
