[CFP] Conference 2021 – Dedicated panel on ‘Populism, Sovereignty and Class Politics’

11TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN POLITICAL ECONOMY
September 12-19, 2021 / Online Conference

Neoliberalism Working Group

Call for papers for dedicated panel on Populism, Sovereignty and Class Politics

Deadline for submissions of abstracts: 15 May, 2021

Despite more than a decade of capitalist stagnation, the anti-capitalist left and the trade unions have not made persistent gains in any global north state. Instead, resistance has emerged in more sporadic political directions, with persistent anti- establishment grievances and demands for the accountability of state power. These themes were initially exploited by. leftists like Syriza and Podemos, but latterly have often been exploited in by right-populist. political entrepreneurs. A cross-cutting theme has been sovereigntism, the assertion of the primacy of the political sphere. over the free play of market forces. The aim of this session is thus to analyse the political climate arising from an ongoing crisis of neoliberal globalisation.

We would consider papers addressing the following themes:

  • What factors account for the failure of “left populist” experiments to sustain early breakthroughs?
  • What explains “pasokification”? Why have centre-left parties so often been the electoral victims of the breakdown of neoliberal globalisation?
  • Is the left’s commitment to “open borders” reconcilable with a national populism from the left?
