It argues that Trump's tariff agenda conforms to Polanyi's interpretation of how the crisis of liberal economics can disintegrate into more malignant forces. However, this article argues the Trump tariff agenda is a response to a larger crisis of contemporary liberal economics—climate breakdown. The slowing of capital accumulation due to the end of ‘Cheap Nature’ gives rise to increasingly regressive strategies to maintain profits by the global hegemon. Trump's tariff agenda marks a Polanyian shift from a neo-liberal ‘disembedded’ strategy of capital accumulation, rhetorically based on market norms, to a politically ‘embedded’ strategy that Polanyi would likely see as fascist.</p>","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"53 S1","pages":"S131-S150"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jols.70039","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147668751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Next, it explores the related claim that addressing the past in Northern Ireland was a variant of <i>lawfare</i> against the British state as part of a broader effort to rewrite the past.

Although the Final Report's criticisms are direct, they are also understated and limit the longer term role of the neoliberal project. Using the Public Inquiry's own data, this article supports the bereaved and survivors’ view that the government operationalised explicit acts of omission to sustain an inadequate testing regime of cladding materials for decades before 2010.

Moreover, it engages with the wider topic of how we can understand the government(s)’ role in dealing with an ‘emergency’ (the Covid-19 pandemic) and the consequent (global) health crisis. Vaccine-injured individuals and communities perceive suffering health problems after Covid-19 vaccination as a ‘tragedy’, which requires an adequate response. However, the VDPS often does not meet their expectations, which fuels the vaccine-injured community's narratives around an emerging ‘scandal’ over inadequate redress provision for those who suffered adverse effects following Covid-19 vaccines. These perceptions and meaning-making are in stark contrast to the fact that the wider population is unaffected by these issues and are generally not aware of the harms suffered or of the VDPS.</p>","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"53 S1","pages":"S151-S166"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jols.70047","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147668737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It uses the concept of ‘accidental activism’ to explore how victims, initially isolated and disempowered, became central agents of justice reform. The authors examine how institutional agnosis and legality illusions—mechanisms of ignorance-making and legal manipulation—enabled systemic harm and prolonged injustice. Despite legal victories such as the Bates litigation and the Horizon IT Inquiry, the paper highlights the cyclical nature of legal processes and logics reasserting the system-norms the victims/survivors are resisting. This is experienced as an ‘infinite’ regress of revictimisation. In mapping the transformation of personal trauma into collective resistance, we see how survivor-led activism can challenge state-corporate power and foster broader structural change but also how the system will work to protect itself.</p>","PeriodicalId":51544,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Law and Society","volume":"53 S1","pages":"S25-S41"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jols.70042","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147668750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These labels, rather than simply being used to describe instability, function as tools of governance to normalise dysfunction and entrench cycles of dependency.

Further, this sustains and promotes external authority, often rooted in colonial narratives of the region. The exploration of case studies, Somalia and South Sudan, highlighting how international interventions, often framed as peacebuilding or humanitarian efforts, reinforce the very ‘crisis’ it aims to address. The solution to decolonise this paradigm created by western interventionist economies lies in alternatives grounded in African epistemologies of governance that centre local sovereignty.
