Abstract

This chapter focuses on the political forms associated with neoliberalism. It shows that the transitions to neoliberalism followed different paths but, by the 1990s, a specifically neoliberal form of democracy had become the political form of the system of accumulation. Examination of the key features, contradictions and limitations of neoliberal democracy suggests the political paradox of neoliberalism: that the triumph of neoliberal democracy undermined democracy itself, and made the political system and the institutions of the neoliberal state unresponsive to the demands and expectations of large strata of the population. This limitation created political vulnerabilities that help to explain the rise of authoritarianism after the GFC.
