Chaining and Unchaining Democratic Sovereignty: (Supra)National Institutions in, and Beyond, Neoliberalism

João Rodrigues

Journal of Economic Issues, 2020, vol. 54, issue 4, 1055-1070

Abstract: This article examines neoliberal political economy as a relatively consistent theoretical practice that, from its intellectual origins, aimed at creating supranational institutions to limit democratic sovereignty. It pursues this line of inquiry through a detailed account of Hayek's main intellectual contribution to the political construction of supranational institutions and through a comparison between his work and Robbins’ take on the same subject. This opens the terrain for the valorization of national sovereignty, a necessary, but not sufficient, condition to unchain democracy beyond neoliberalism.
