Between the Market and the Nation: Neoliberal Policies, Nationalism and Globalization

This work provides an in-depth and critical analysis of the interrelationships between neoliberalism, globalization, and the resurgence of nationalism in the 21st century. It explores the origins and theoretical foundations of neoliberalism, highlighting the contributions of influential theorists such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, and examines its political rise through the administrations of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. The book investigates how economic globalization has expanded neoliberal policies, affecting both developed and developing economies, and analyzes the social and cultural consequences, including the exacerbation of inequality and the crisis of the welfare state. As neoliberal policies advanced, rising inequality and social dissatisfaction fueled the resurgence of nationalist and populist movements in various regions of the world. The book offers a detailed study of these movements, analyzing their causes and implications in the global context. Additionally, it discusses the tensions between globalist and nationalist ideologies, addressing issues such as protectionism, economic nationalism, and the challenges to neoliberal free trade. In the final chapter, the work proposes new global governance models aimed at reconciling national demands with global needs in a context of increasing ideological polarization. With a comprehensive and critical approach, this book is essential reading for academics, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the contemporary challenges shaping global politics and economics.
