The backlash against globalization and the rise of cultural anxiety
has led to considerable re-thinking among social scientists. This
book provides multiple theoretical, historical, and methodological
orientations to examine these issues. While addressing the rise of
populism worldwide, the volume provides explanations that cover
periods of both cultural turbulence and stability. Issues addressed
include populism and cultural anxiety, class, religion, arts and
cultural diversity, global environment norms, international trade,
and soft power. The interdisciplinary scholarship from well-known
scholars questions the oft-made assumption in political economy
that holds culture "constant," which in practice means
marginalizing it in the explanation. The volume conceptualizes
culture as a repertoire of values and alternatives. Locating human
interests in underlying cultural values does not make political
economy's strategic or instrumental calculations of interests
redundant: the instrumental logic follows a social context and a
distribution of cultural values, while locating forms of
decision-making that may not be rational.
