Abstract

Resurgent nationalist movements present a challenged to globalisation and Neoliberal economics,1 challenging liberal international norms such as equality of rights for cultural, ethnic and gender identities, multilateral international relations agreements,2 binding rules-based international organisations and even limitations in the exercise of coercive power. Electoral successes for nationalist movements in the UK, US, France, Italy, Poland, India, Russia, and Brazil have revealed remarkable coherence between their foreign policy objectives, a coherence which centres on a shared conceptual assemblage known as New Right.3 This chapter explores this intellectual assemblage and its promotion of its own brand of nationalism in the twenty-first century.
