This comprehensive volume provides crucial insights from
contemporary academics and practitioners into how positive
interventions might be made into post-secular political spaces that
have emerged in the wake of the economic, political, and social
upheavals of the 2008 global financial crisis. The failure of
liberal democracy to deal effectively with such challenges has led
to scapegoating of the poor, immigrants, and Muslims, and
contributed to the populist electoral success of, among others, the
Leave campaign during the 2016 United Kingdom European Union
membership referendum, and Donald Trump's Presidential campaign.
These shocks have highlighted contemporary political spaces defined
by what has been termed 'all the posts': postmodern,
post-Christendom, post-liberal, post-political, and post-secular.
This collection examines emerging attempts to understand and
advance the cause of wellbeing within this context. The authors
address a variety of key issues including: (re)configuring
mythologies for the common good; deploying love and friendship
politically; motivating new social movements; valuing the other;
recovering displaced and devalued political narratives; finding
alternatives to the previously dominant neo-liberalism; listening
deeply for social transformation; and overcoming adversarial party
politics. This book was originally published online as a special
issue of the journal Global Discourse.
