THE EUROPEAN INTEGRATION AS A VEHICLE OF NEOLIBERAL HEGEMONY AND THE “END OF LABOUR”
Abstract
This chapter focuses on the way that the ruling economic and political forces in Europe use the process of European integration to ensure the hegemony of Neoliberalism. We trace the economic and social realignments (and antagonisms) which have brought to the fore the ideology of the end of labour, bearing in mind that every theory articulates and/or supports particular standpoints in an ongoing dispute for ideological domination in contemporary capitalist societies.
