Neo-liberal definitions of democracy, between critics and recategorization
Les définitions néolibérales de la démocratie, entre critique et recatégorisation
Résumé
This introduction to the dossier offers an overview of the different relationships between neoliberalism and democracy. After defining the concept of neoliberalism we develop a typology of the relations between neoliberalism and democracy, highlighting (i) an opposition of neoliberals to a certain concept of democracy, understood as popular sovereignty, (ii) a defense of a limited and framed democracy, taking the form of a constitutional democracy, and finally (iii) a defense of the normative ideal of individual sovereignty realized in the market as converging with the concept of democracy. This introduction therefore proposes a survey of contemporary research in the field, but also contributes to clarifying the issues at stake. Finally, we present the dossier and how the contributions fit into our typology.
