Les consequences internes de la crise economique

In: Pouvoirs: revue française d'études constitutionelles et politiques, Heft 142, S. 107-117

Abstract

The international economic and financial crisis seems set to last for some time; its length is unpredictable and, above all, a considerable uncertainty looms regarding the world 'the day after'. The major stake seems to be the nature of the changing relationship between society and politics, the forms of representation of social interests, the new dividing lines within our societies, which no longer correspond to the traditional schemas of the 'class struggle'. One of the main dangers, in the current situation, is the growing fragmentation of the 'the spheres and modes of reaction' of the different social groups. Either politics reclaims its role, or there is nothing left for us to do, but to submit to the systemic diktat of the markets. Adapted from the source document.
