/knowledge between asymmetrical positions of social actors. Following Foucault (1977; 2003), power is not merely the ability to repress or impose something on somebody but it deploys also as a productive network across the social body. Thus, a first distinction emerges between coercive and facilitating mechanisms of power. The former can be exemplified with the pressures and impositions (power over) to imple- ment [...] , representations and problematizations promoted by particular social actors. In the case of Europeanization, the power through discourse is illustrated by the member states negoti- ations to impose a specific

between markets, on the one hand, and social (and environmen- tal) protection, on the other. I use the case of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) to deepen our un- derstandings of these patterns of “protection via commodification”—that is, cases where mar- ket-like institutions are intentionally fabricated to provide social and ecological protections. The takeaway is this: using markets [...] , that market-oriented regulatory schemes like the EU ETS primarily facilitate accumulation and generate “disembedding” social and ecological ef- fects—indeed, I find evidence of the opposite; or b

The ‘social question’ was ‘solved’ in part and workers’ demands were met to a certain extent by the introduction of a welfare [...] variations should not obscure the fact that economic and social development in these countries has led to certain distinctive ‘southern features’ in the world of work and labour. Let me illustrate. I will make my argument in two parts: firstly, countries in the Global South have followed an economic and social trajectory that differs markedly from the First Great Transfor- mation in Northern
