Working Group 3: Market

The working group analyzes the complex relationship between trust and economic forms of conflict. While markets are generally seen as a guarantor of economic trust, most decisions are not made in an institutional vacuum, but in the shadow of formal and informal institutions. At the core of the empirical work program of the group are two projects, one on how the COVID-19 pandemic reorders the relationship between the state and the economy and one on how crises transform the gendered division of labor in the household.

Alec Dinnin

Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter

Profile, contact and publications
I am a political theorist with research interests in the history of 19th and 20th century political thought (especially Spain and Europe), democratic theory, elitism, liberalism/neoliberalism, and political utopia/dystopia. My book manuscript, Democracy and Disorientation: José Ortega y Gasset’s Post-Imperial Liberalism, engages with Spanish liberal José Ortega y Gasset’s thought and its significance for larger debates surrounding liberalism, democracy, and fascism. Based on extensive archival research and a comprehensive reading of his corpus, I argue that the loss of the Spanish Empire inflected Ortega’s liberal-democratic commitments in ways that made him a key figure in the development of Spanish fascism. I am also currently laying the groundwork for several additional projects: one that explores the theroetical connections between European integration, liberal democracy, and imperial decline through the writings of Spanish diplomat and historian Salvador de Madariaga; and another that examines how the Spanish Civil War influenced the development of a distinctively ‘dystopian’ ethos in the work of George Orwell, Arthur Koestler, Albert Camus, and Richard Wright.
