“…However, throughout the Golden Age, Japan and Europe "were fast catching up and continued to do so in the 1970s and 1980s" (Hobsbawm, 1995, p. 258) due to the increase in productivity, accumulation of surplus-labour. It represented significant progress in the developed capitalist countries; in the third-world, it characterised a drastic increase in the population, insofar it produced real wealth (Hobsbawm, 1995). If the wealth created was the product of human-labour, the natural drive was fossil fuel as its energy source (Hobsbawm, 1995).…”

“…To contain the "danger" of revolution and counterbalance the loss of political control, which Europe had over the world, the so-called Western-Democracies polarized the dichotomy between the first world (developed) and third world (underdeveloped-nations). Truman Doctrine attempted to secure it (Hobsbawm, 1995). The West became the haven of the labour-movement, and the Welfare State its shield against the red danger.…”

Critique of growth and degrowth ideology: from developed to underdeveloped countries

In this paper, I discuss the paradigmatic relationship between developed and underdeveloped nations within the notions of growth/degrowth. Economic Growth assimilated in the form of GDP expresses value bundle. Growth is demystified when the essence of value is grasped. Value ceases to be merely an abstract economic category and is apprehended as a social relation. Growth acquires a double reality under current social relations: Surplus value in a particular and a general form. To attain the dialectics of such relation and its supranational relationship, we endeavour a historical analysis giving an account of real relations to find the limits of our critique. Surplus labour historically has enabled societies to reach progress; only when societies produce beyond subsistence can they regard for different needs. On the other hand, the appropriation of surplus labour appears in history in many antagonist forms. In this perspective, the discussion about growth/degrowth attains major importance.

In Search of Digital Sovereignty and Strategic Autonomy: Normative Power Europe to the Test of Its Geopolitical Ambitions

This article analyses the recent use of European Union (EU) terminology of digital sovereignty and strategic autonomy, aiming to identify tensions between policy considerations of fundamental rights, free market principles and geopolitical concerns. These tensions are rooted in the disparity between the EU's considerable economic and regulatory power in digital matters and its limited mandate and capabilities in foreign policy. The article also explores the translation of the notions of digital sovereignty and strategic autonomy into EU policy. It identifies three important trends in the geopoliticisation of the EU agenda on digital technologies: (1) the instrumental use of ‘classic’ internal market policies to exert geopolitical influence; (2) the imposition of foreign policy imperatives on national markets; and (3) new ‘hybrid’ digital policies that combine internal market concerns, fundamental rights and geopolitical concerns. Ultimately, digital sovereignty has inherent tensions with the EU's normative power in digital issues and may also result in a strategic cacophony.
