Dialektyka uniwersalizmu. Kryzys Europy w optyce Etienne’a Balibara
Dialectics of Universalism . The Crisis of Europe Read by Etienne Balibar

Summary/Abstract: In my article I try to read current Europe’s crisis by concepts derived from Etienne Balibar’s works. I use concepts such as universalism/particularism and border, to rethink two most serious dimensions of the crisis of the European Union: structural eurozone’s crisis and immigration crisis. The strong part of Balibar’s approach is conceptual interconnection between universalism and particularism, which enable us to understand the way in which discourse of austerity measures and discourse of anti-immigration articulate together. By connecting struggles against austerity and against racial discrimination in transnational manner, we can force European Union and member states to trigger the project of integration in more social, inclusive and democratic direction.
