Abstract

[The concluding chapter probes the structural link between European debt crisis and migration crisis. It summarises the narratives of the previous four chapters and argues that the European debt crisis and the migration crisis taken together are the signs of a transformation of Europe from being a liberal union to a neoliberal imperial formation in which national, class, and geopolitical contradictions can only sharpen. And to the extent this happens, Europe will more and more resemble the post-colonial bind in which much of the world finds itself. In rounding up the book, the concluding chapter raises the crucial question of method in analysing the link between the two crises. This chapter concludes the book by way of discussing what do we mean by post-colonial in this context? What is its place in the neoliberal world? And, specifically, why does the simultaneous presence of debt crisis and migration crisis convey the global relevance of the post-colonial world and in particular the interlinked crises of debt and migration? What indeed is crisis? And, what are its manifold dimensions? Finally, why is it that only with a critical post-colonial mode of enquiry that we can probe the European crisis?]
