Pouvoirs n°142 - septembre 2012 - Les Etats sous la contrainte économique - p.61-70
Do governments still have margins for maneuver ? The answer to this
question can only be positive. Did not governments rescue the financial
markets from bankruptcy in 2008 ? The question is, therefore, about
the European Union : the member countries of the euro zone find
themselves in the situation of federated states without a federal government.
The result is a power deficit that mirrors the democratic deficit
in Europe : on the one hand, the federated states have legitimacy but
no means of action ; on the other hand, means of action exist but their
usage is limited by international treaties. We are, therefore, confronted
with a politics of powerlessness rather than to the impotence of politics.
