Current Research

Prof. Bieler's main research interest deals with the global dynamics of capitalism, neo-liberal globalisation and the possibilities for resistance. Particular emphasis is placed on the potential role of labour movements broadly defined in resistance to restructuring, their possibilities to establish links of transnational solidarity across borders, as well as theoretical discussions of how these struggles can be conceptualised from a historical materialist perspective. Moreover, he has analysed struggles over the future European Union model of capitalism and the possibilities of national economic-political models different from a neo-liberal, Anglo-American model of capitalism.

In his most recent book (Zed Books 2021), Andreas Bieler draws on years of extensive fieldwork to dissect the underlying dynamics of the struggle for public water in Europe. From the successful referendum against water privatization in Italy, via the European Citizens' Initiative on 'Water and Sanitation are a Human Right', to the struggles against water privatization in Greece and water charges in Ireland, Bieler shows why water has been a fruitful arena for resistance against neoliberal restructuring.
