In November 1999 the first protests associated with the
'anti-globalisation movement' took place in Seattle, and came to be
seen as the starting point for globalised resistance to neoliberal
capitalism. Despite initial optimism, the following years have seen
little progress in formulating a coherent alternative to
neoliberalism, a failure that has become particularly poignant in
the aftermath of the recent credit crisis. Now, the neoliberal
mandate that appeared to be in 'crisis' in just 2008 has reinvented
itself through the guise of a new 'era of austerity'. In this
timely book, Worth assesses the growing diversity of resistance to
neoliberalism - progressive, nationalist and religious - and argues
that, troublingly, the more reactionary alternatives to
globalisation currently provide just as coherent a base for
building opposition as those associated with the traditional
'left-wing' anti-globalisation movements. From the shortcomings of
the Occupy movement to the rise of Radical Islam, the re-emergence
of the far-right in Western Europe to the startling impact of the
Tea Party in the US - Worth shows that while a progressive
alternative is possible, it cannot be taken for granted.
