Few notions are as universal as the idea of a left-right divide in
politics. Despite its death being frequently foretold, the
left-right metaphor remains the most common lens through which to
interpret political life locally, nationally and globally. Left and
Right in Global Politics argues that the left-right divide connects
these different levels into a world political debate. Interpreting
the left-right dichotomy as an enduring debate about equality, Noel
and Therien analyse opinion polls and social discourses to
demonstrate how this debate shapes both individual and collective
views of public affairs. Setting their findings in a historical
perspective, they then show that for more than two centuries the
conflict between progressives and conservatives has structured both
domestic and international politics. They conclude by discussing
the implications of their argument for the analysis of world
politics, and contend that the left-right opposition is here to
stay.
