“…NGOs in particular not only criticized the supposedly 'neoliberal' substance (e.g. Gill, 1998), but also the procedural characteristics of the trade system. They argued that since trade negotiations now have a more direct and significant impact on citizens' daily life, the trade system needs to be made more transparent and include non-traditional players in the process (Goldman, 1994;Hopewell, 2015).…”

Transparency has been a central issue in the debate regarding the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), especially on the side of the European Union (EU). The lack of transparency in the negotiating process has been one of the main criticisms of civil society organizations (CSOs). The European Commission (EC) has tried to gain support for the negotiations through various 'transparency initiatives'. Nonetheless, criticism by CSOs with regard to TTIP in general and the lack of transparency in specific remained prevalent. In this article, we explain this gap between various transparency initiatives implemented by the EC in TTIP and the expectations on the side of European CSOs. We perform a content analysis of position papers on transparency produced by CSOs, mainly in response to a European Ombudsman consultation, complemented by a number of official documents and targeted interviews. We find that the gap between the TTIP transparency initiatives and the expectations of CSOs can be explained by different views on what constitutes legitimate trade governance, and the role of transparency, participation, and accountability herein.

“…Bu zengin literatürün ağırlık merkezini yapısal analizler oluşturmaktadır. 1970'lerde dünya kapitalist sistemin ne tür bir yapısal kriz içerisinde olduğu, neoliberalizmin bu kriz durumuna nasıl bir çözüm önerdiği ve bu paradigma etrafında ne tür kurumsal-yapısal dönüşümler gerçekleştiğine dair çokça çalışma bulunmaktadır (Gill 1998;Munck 2002;Mcnally 2010). Öte yandan, neoliberalizmin ideolojiler alanında yarattığı dönüşümler konusunda benzer zenginliktebir araştırma gündemi oluştuğunu söylemek mümkün değildir.…”

“…In such a fraught environment the maintenance of social order would appear to rest not so much upon popular 'acquiescence', as a reflex response by the state towards greater authoritarianism in suppressing dissent. It would appear that when necessary, the authoritarian reflex of post-communism does not reside simply in the realm of the aggressive promotion of free-market ideology and hyper-individualism ('disciplinary' neoliberalism) [86]but on the exercise of the ultimate power of the state and its monopoly of the instruments offorce.…”

This article analyzes policing political protest in post-independent Lithuania. It argues that since the early 2000s, policing of political protest as an issue has increased in importance as Lithuania has experienced political mobilization and radicalization among groups disadvantaged by postcommunist reforms. It is suggested that police responses reveal precursor tendencies towards growing authoritarianism which has become more visible in the most recent period. In 2008, the onset of deep economic crisis across the region has generated rising social unrest (including outbreaks of street riot) as a result of government adoption of severe austerity measures. The article examines the growing centralization and militarization of policing and the increasing criminalization of public protest, as well as the restriction and litigation of organized dissent by authorities. At the same time, it also points to the internal contradictions of austerity programs which lack popular legitimacy both at the level of the state and society, including more vocal and militant labor unions; increasing challenges to the drift towards a new authoritarianism by the courts; and, paradoxically, the emergence of growing labor unrest within police force itself, with the potential to undermine authoritarian tendencies in policing 'from within.' The wider implications of (re)turn to post-communist authoritarianism in public order policing are discussed.2
