Abstract
El principal objetivo de este artículo es analizar la liberalización del sector del gas natural en Europa. En cuanto a la política energética, no podemos considerar a la Unión Europea o sus Estados Miembro como simples agentes del capital. Sin embargo, otorgarles una autonomía según la cual éstos desarrollan sus propios intereses nos situaría en un escenario en el que se minimiza el papel del capital. Así pues, esta investigación sigue el trabajo de la Escuela de Ámsterdam sobre la formación transnacional de clase. Esta aproximación subraya la necesidad de la clase dominante de ejercer una agencia colectiva para reproducir su dominio y asegurar que éste se articula en políticas concretas.
The main objective of this paper is to analyze the liberalization of natural gas sector in Europe. Regarding the energy policy, we cannot consider the EU or its Member States just as agents of capital. However, granting them an autonomy according to which they develop their own interests, would lead us into a scenario that minimizes the role of capital. This research, then, follows the work of the Amsterdam School about transnational class formation. This approach underlines the need of the dominant class of exercising a collective agency to reproduce their dominance and to ensure that it articulates in concrete politics.
