Particularly in his analysis of political economy, Gamble raises the issue of competition between 'Anglo-American' and 'European' social and economic 'models', an issue that the article by Jonathan Hopkin and Daniel Wincott takes up. It starts with the paradoxically different conceptions of the meaning of the Constitutional Treaty that informed hostile reaction in France and the UK. This, they argue, is indicative of a fundamental debate around the technically and normatively appropriate socioeconomic character of the EU. From this they derive the commonplace proposition that there is a fundamental trade-off between ideal-typical models of capitalism that promote either socially-driven equitable outcomes or liberal economically-efficient outcomes. Their article shows empirically that this tension need not be zero-sum in character. However, they probe rather deeper into this issue than is commonplace by examining the constitutive character of the prevailing political economy 'common sense' that European states are locked into particular formulaic regime types which determine nationally the plausibility of particular socioeconomic balances and growth models.
