Introduction: The Liberal Script at the Beginning of the 21st Century

Tanja A. Börzel, Johannes Gerschewski and Michael Zürn

A chapter in The Liberal Script at the Beginning of the 21st Century: Conceptions, Components, and Tensions, 2024, pp 1-22 from ZBW - Leibniz Information Centre for Economics

Abstract: This chapter discusses the added value of using “script” as a heuristic and an analytical concept over alternatives and introduces four central themes that structure this volume. We ask first what the liberal script is and how we can approach it from different viewpoints. Second, we inquire how the liberal script varies over time and space. Third, we distinguish subscripts and major components of the liberal script. Fourth, we identify tensions emerging within the liberal script and possible resolutions. In each section, we introduce individual contributions to the book and show how they deal with the four central themes.
