I cast doubt on both interpretations. Hewing closely to Kar l Polanyi’s o wn logic, I show that market-oriented schemes like the EU ETS are better characterized as Polanyian countermovements that are, in fact, helping to “re - embed” th e European economy in more ecologically sustainable relationships with nature. The more general corollary is that Polanyian countermovements reacting to the disembedding effects of markets may themselves include market mechanisms. Ironically, though, it is exactly the embedding effects of market-oriented environmental policy that may undermine its effectiveness for addressing global-scale ecological problems like climate change.","PeriodicalId":392823,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Practice & Europeanization","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124587306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Graefe","doi":"10.5771/2566-7742-2019-1-149","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5771/2566-7742-2019-1-149","url":null,"abstract":"The introductory words of Wolfgang Streeck's article \"Between Charity and Justice\" are promising. A political economist and class theorist who positions himself on the left, he considers the question of migration in order to address one of the greatest challenges of the present. How can the social question that is institutionalized in the welfare states of the global North be solved in a highly unequal world and in the face of global migration processes? How can the rights of those to whom nationally constituted social policy offers protection be defended without, conversely, closing the borders and relying on nationalistic, exclusive solidarity? In times of growing \"authoritarian national radicalism\" (Heitmeyer, 2018), critical spirits are needed who take these contested issues seriously. Unfortunately, as the reader quickly discovers, this is not the concern of Wolfgang Streeck. Rarely have we read such a resentful academic article that does not shy away from carving out the deterrent social figure of a strategically fraudulent refugee from individual cases. How to deal with an article that equates current law with justice, sees xenophobia as a natural impulse and advocates the placement of refugees in camps for reasons of cost efficiency? Our first impulse was not to draw any additional attention to this position with a commentary. Our second impulse was to respond: to respond to a fellow sociologist who in recent years has enriched the critical debate with his work on the crisis of capitalism, but now seems to be standing up for a disturbingly nationalistic position. Unfortunately, he is not alone in this, but fits into a 'left-wing nationalist' current that re-fashions the social question as a national question and thus, ultimately (and even if this is not the intention), provides right-wing populists with support (for more details see van Dyk & Graefe, 2018). Our commentary focuses on four points: (1) Streeck's understanding of ideology and reality; (2) his thesis of the deregulating left; (3) his elaboration of justice and charity; and (4) his remarks on population policy and racism.","PeriodicalId":392823,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Practice & Europeanization","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115249585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article begins with a comparative historical view of media depictions of refugees after the break-up of socialist Yugoslavia. It is argued that the early depictions were region specific and dependent on European Union (EU) integration discourses of a post-socialist transition state. In contrast, in 2015 public memories of World War II and transnational solidarity were invoked. The paper then focuses on two cases, a newspaper series I Am a Refugee and a photograph entitled The Path, which diverge from the conventional institutional framing of the refugee. The analysis draws on critical theory of visual counter-narratives to investigate these documents’ potential for re-humanizing the figure of the refugee in the EU.","PeriodicalId":392823,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Practice & Europeanization","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121342093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
