Summary/Abstract: The article consists of three parts. In the first part, the discussions on technocracy in the twentieth century are related to the problems of dynamics of technocracy in the European Union. In the second part, the paper tries to point to the fact that the problem of technocracy is already determined by the genesis of EU. In this section the paper articulates the special contribution of German ordoliberalism in relation to EU structures and technocratic governmentality. Specifically, the juridization and economization of politics, and the economization of constitutionality are mentioned. The third part deals with the momentum of technocracy after the crisis in 2008 and the technocracy is treated as a crisis-based guardianship. The paper concludes that given modalities of technocracy in EU are not accidental or by products; it can be derived from the genesis and structure of the EU.
