Conclusion: where next for the EU?

Andreas Bieler and Vincenzo Maccarrone

Chapter 21 in Critical Political Economy of the European Polycrisis, 2025, pp 319-327 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter draws out the main findings of the various contributions to the volume and reflects on the next steps ahead for Critical Political Economy and its analysis of European integration. In more detail, we identify three key findings of the volume. First, the neoliberal project continues to be hegemonic within the EU. Second, the various chapters in this volume have started contributing to overcoming the blind spots of CPE approaches around patriarchal and racist forms of oppression as integral parts of European integration. Third, we establish that reformist projects, which do not aim at transforming the capitalist social relations of production, will be unable to challenge the interests of (transnational) capital.
