Habermas maintains that neoliberalism precludes the building of a European demos and entails a regression towards the exclusionary but still democratic nation state. Although this article agrees with Habermas’s claim regarding the regressive impact of neoliberalism, it argues that this regression is best described as moving not towards an exclusionary but still democratic national people but rather towards an illiberal, anti-democratic nation state.

哈贝马斯谈欧洲联盟的人员建设

哈贝马斯坚持认为，新自由主义排除了建立欧洲民主国家的可能性，并导致向排斥但仍然民主的民族国家的倒退。尽管本文同意哈贝马斯关于新自由主义的回归影响的主张，但它认为，这种回归最好被描述为不是朝着排斥但仍是民主的民族方向发展，而是朝着非自由，反民主的民族国家发展。
