ABSTRACT

This chapter illustrates how neo-liberal logics undergird European governance by drawing on three distinct examples of European Union (EU) policy. It focuses on the ever-increasing role of economic experts in the production, adjudication and reform of governance at the European level. Economic and managerial professionals began supplanting lawyers – the profession-in-chief when it came to state formation – as the preeminent experts on European governance during debates over resolving economic crises and those over restructuring the administration of Europe. The chapter then assesses on how these changes are influencing struggles over the civil, political and social rights of citizenship as well as who stands to gain and lose in the emergent EU citizenship regime. Finally, it speculates on the implications of seeing Europeanisation as political integration via the market –of seeing the subjects of European governance as neo-liberal subjects.
