The ‘New’ Globalization

When discussing the new globalization, we do little service to its dynamics and to identifying the strains of populism that contest it, if we tie all such developments to the vicissitudes of neoliberalism as a global script. Avoiding reductionism means taking careful note of many contributory factors that Steger and James compress as the ‘Great Unsettling’, piecing together how these factors are ‘interwoven in complex ways’ (Benedikter and Kofler, 2019). Globalization, so recently hymned as a hegemonic project, is, once again, undergoing significant changes. Some of these changes intensify the compression of space and time; others are fractal in their effects. For some observers, these changes amount to a rupture with past practice and represent another ‘quantum leap in the history of globalization’ (Steger and James, 2019: 158; see also Benedikter and Kofler, 2019). At its most profound, and in line with my broader argument, this is a shift from the modern forms of globalization (and of populism) to postmodern strains. And, like all globalizations, the latest iteration is replete with powerful impulses and trends, both convergent and divergent.
