SUVERANISMELE DEPENDENTE DIN UNGARIA, POLONIA ȘI ROMÂNIA. O PERSPECTIVĂ COMPARATIVĂ

Abstract

The main scope of this article is to get over the liberal/iliberal antinomy, which is hardly useful from an academic perspective, but at the same time important in the remit of politics, and to set up a research path that couples sovereignty with sovereignism, the latter pointing to a political strategy of taking back control over the liberal development state. The premise that this analysis is built on is that a strand of research that intends to look into the structural causes of sovereignism needs to pay heed to the nexus between the sovereign state and the accumulation of capital. Political stability, state of law, monopolies and even military support for the opening of new markets, a policy that goes hand in hand with geoeconomic strategies of increasing the regional or global political influence of a certain state actor, are the main services that the state could offer to capitalist investors. Consequently, the relation between the sovereign state and the accumulation of capital could be deemed symbiotic. By employing the comparative method, the article examines whether sovereignist movements in Hungary, Poland and Romania have interfered so far with this symbiotic relation between the sovereign state and the accumulation of capital.
