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.
