Rather than reaching the “end of ideology” predicted only three
decades ago, we find ourselves in the throes of an intensifying
ideological struggle over the meaning and direction of globalization.
Noted scholar Manfred B. Steger introduces readers to the clashing
political belief systems of our time: market globalism, justice
globalism, and religious globalism. He shows how these
“globalisms” have developed and how their competing ideas
articulate and legitimize particular political agendas. He focuses
especially on the ways this battle of ideas has been extended through
the unexpectedly powerful surge of antiglobalist populism, an
ideological contender that stands in tension to pluralist values of
liberal democracy. Explaining the origins, impacts, and consequences
of the recent populist challenge, Steger considers the future
prospects for the established globalisms in what promises to be a
tumultuous decade—as global problems such as climate change,
pandemics, transnational terrorism, financial crises, and
cyber-warfare threaten humanity’s collective future.
