Abstract

Peter Trubowitz and Brian Burgoon provide a powerful new explanation of why the Western liberal international order - which dominated for a half century after World War II - has buckled under the pressures of anti-globalist political forces in recent times. They trace the anti-globalist backlash to foreign policy decisions made by Western leaders in the decade after the Cold War's end. These decisions sought to globalise markets and pool national sovereignty at the supranational level while undercutting social protections at home - a combination of policies that succeeded in expanding the Western liberal order, but at the cost of mounting public discontent and political fragmentation.
