| Abstract | This thesis argues that the shaping of economic order in crisis is contingent upon both exceptional and normative forms of legal power and the interaction of these forms. It argues that extraordinary economic interventions are made possible by the partial suspension of normative politico-economic order during crisis, which enlivens an exceptional but fundamentally normalising state power. It shows how these exceptional interventions and their outcomes are influenced by their interaction with other elements of normative order which continue to function despite the crisis. Specifically, it demonstrates how extraordinary economic measures intended to stabilise and shape economic order during crisis depend upon and are influenced by an intimate relation between the institutions of the state, law and the corporation. This thesis makes these conclusions via a critical analysis of the Australian Commonwealth Government’s JobKeeper wage subsidy scheme, examining it through a theoretical lens which brings together Carl Schmitt’s theory of the state of exception and critical accounts of neoliberalism. |
