Crisis of Globalization

In recent years, the effects of economic globalization and technological change in driving dissatisfaction with established political systems has led to the rise of new forms of political populism that seek to exploit the economic and political polarisation and resentment created by globalization. This shift in politics was evident in the decision by UK voters to leave the European Union in June 2016, the November 2016 election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States, as well as the rise of populist movements on left and right throughout much of Europe. To many voters, the economy appears to be broken and politics is failing. Parties of the left and centre-left have struggled to forge a convincing response to this new phase of globalization in the aftermath of the 2008 economic crisis. This book examines the challenges that the new era of globalization poses for centre-left parties across the world. It brings together leading thinkers and experts from across the world to debate the structural causes and political consequences of this new wave of globalization.

In ultimii ani, efectele globalizarii economice si ale schimbarilor tehnologice in determinarea nemultumirii fata de sistemele politice stabilite au dus la aparitia unor noi forme de populism politic care incearca sa exploateze polarizarea economica si politica si resentimentele create de globalizare. Aceasta schimbare in politica a fost evidenta in decizia alegatorilor din Marea Britanie de a parasi Uniunea Europeana in iunie 2016, alegerile din noiembrie 2016 ale lui Donald Trump la presedintia Statelor Unite, precum si ascensiunea miscarilor populiste de stanga si de dreapta de-a lungul mult din Europa.
