Felix launched this debate by suggesting that the fall of Mubarak was the end of the process of eliminating outmoded central-planning and dictatorial state-forms that started in 1989. I proposed it was beginning of the breakdown of a 30-year attempt to stabilize the new conditions of globalization. The discussion then shifted onto technopolitical ground in the posts below, as I tried to describe the paradigm of neoliberal informationalism and Felix sorted out what he would and would not accept in that description. This pushed me to finally accept (in a slightly modified form) the idea that the current crisis is a regulation crisis of informationalism. Great debate!</p> <p><a href="http://tnl-6.local/node/1358" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://tnl-6.local/node/1358#comments English Research Technopolitics Egypt; technopolitics; liberal empire; regulation crisis Technopolitics Wed, 16 Feb 2011 21:02:27 +0000 Brian Holmes 1358 at http://tnl-6.local
