Abstract
This chapter consists mainly of a dialogue between theoretical arguments and first cursory empirical results. It establishes the historical foundations of public discourse and reviews the extant literature. Hence, this chapter will focus on the development of the economic situation in Western Europe over the last four decades and its interplay with the role of the state in economic policy-making. It will show that public discourse on economic liberalization has taken place in a context of increasing internationalization and post-industrialization and against the background of the emergence of the regulatory state. These transformations are linked to changes in the substance of economic liberalization discourse. On the one hand, it becomes evident that mainstream party convergence and the internationalization of conflicts have led to a dominance of pro-market mainstream ideas. On the other hand, this chapter elaborates on the interplay between the institutional context of countries and arenas as well as public discourse. To be precise, it is argued that the openness and coordinative function of of public discourse increase its conflict intensity.
