| Summary |
Beyond Confrontation by Phil Mullan negotiates a third way between the rules-based global order dictated by Western globalists and the mercantilist protectionism of Western nationalists, both of which only fuel resentments between developed and emerging nations. |
|
Reactions to the Coronavirus pandemic have escalated the pre-existing tensions between the US and China and among different Western nations. Confrontations between political globalists and mercantilist nationalists -- between supporters of the rules-based international order and proponents of overt protectionism -- are fueling ever-stronger international resentments. Coupling argumentative rigor with a pragmatic, plainspoken approach, Phil Mullan charts out a novel, democratic way past dangerous and self-defeating confrontations towards a future of open international collaboration based on popular participation within nation states. With its clear-eyed assessment of the opportunities and challenges of a more interconnected world -- an assessment in which the economic internationalisation underpinning globalisation theories is neither romanticised nor vilified -- Beyond Confrontation sets a judicious tone for the big geopolitical themes of our times. -- Provided by the publisher. |
