“…This gap between the EU's norms and actions has attracted considerable attention. Observers have argued that the so-called 'refugee crisis' has turned into a 'solidarity crisis' (Grimmel and Giang 2017;Takle 2017) or an 'identity crisis' (Rizcallah 2019, pp. 249, 256).…”

“…Therefore, it is worthwhile to develop an analytical ideal typical approach that might allow for the simultaneous existence of different types of solidarity. 25 Solidarity with future generations differs from solidarity with contemporaries in all four dimensions. While the ideal typical national concept is useful as a point of reference, the global ecological commons require a concept that takes into account how environmental challenges cross national borders and require global solutions.…”

“…36 Accordingly, the ideal typical national concept is based on the objective of uniting all individuals belonging to a nation. 37 This has been crucial to the nation building process, and the ideal is that all individuals should be equal within the nation. 38 The cosmopolitan concept is also based on the idea of equal individuals, but it embraces all individuals and the objective is to create a good society or world.…”

Common concern for the global ecological commons: solidarity with future generations?

This article elaborates on ideas concerning future generations and whether they are useful in understanding some aspects of the concern for the global ecological commons. The article’s main scholarly contribution is to develop analytical tools for examining what a concern for future generations would require of current generations. It combines the scholarly literature on future generations with that of solidarity. The ideas concerning future generations are interpreted in terms of an ideal typical concept of solidarity with future generations. This concept is divided into four dimensions: the foundation of solidarity, the objective of solidarity, the boundaries of solidarity and the collective orientation. By applying these four dimensions in the context of the political process leading to Agenda 2030, the potentials and limitations of the concept are evident. The article concludes that the absence of reciprocity between current and future generations and uncertainty about the future are both crucial issues, which cut across the four dimensions. We cannot expect anything from people who have not yet been born, and we do not know what preferences they will have. This shows the vulnerability of forward-looking appeals to solidarity with future generations. Nevertheless, such appeals to solidarity may give global political processes a normative content and direction and can thereby contribute to understanding common concerns for the global ecological commons.

“…However, there is no agreed understanding of the concept within Europe: it may refer to solidarity within and/or between nation states, or it may be used prescriptively to encourage social solidarity, when solidarity may be absent or failing. It is also used analytically to distinguish the boundaries of solidarity, to identify who is included or excluded (Takle, 2018). While solidarity is often referenced with respect to redistribution in welfare terms (Baldwin, 1990), especially in the European Union (Eriksen, 2017), it is also used to refer to forms of recognition (Kymlicka, 2015).…”

“…Although Europe’s own deeply racialized colonial history (Fanon, 1963; Walter, 1981) had played a significant role in generating the war and conflict that led to refugees fleeing to Europe, there was little reference to the moral obligations that colonization imposed on member states in 2015. The refugee crisis was framed as a burden, a problem to be resolved by quotas (Knodt and Tews, 2017; Takle, 2018). Plans to relocate asylum seekers from Greece and Italy to other EU states under the European Commission’s own relocation plan failed: only 15,000 of the 160,000 asylum seekers had been relocated by March 2017 (Nielson, 2017).…”

Affective and calculative solidarity: The impact of individualism and neoliberal capitalism

This article examines the ways in which the self-responsibilized individualism underpinning contemporary concepts of the ideal European citizen, on the one hand (Frericks, 2014), and the inequalities and anti-democratic politics that characterize contemporary neoliberal capitalism, on the other, are co-constituent elements in creating an antipathy to forms of solidarity that are affective as opposed to calculative. The active citizenship framework lacks a full appreciation of the interdependency of the human condition and is antithetical to universalistic, affectively-led forms of solidarity. The deep relationality that is endemic to both social production and reproduction, and that impels an affective, morally-led form of solidarity needs to be recognized academically and intellectually, and politically sustained, if we are to move beyond a narrow, calculative, self-interested vision of solidarity in Europe.
