This new edition of Manfred Stegers award-winning book explores the three principal ideologies of our time: the dominant market globalism based on a neoliberal vision of the world as a single marketplace, the justice globalism developed over the last decade by a transnational coalition of global civil society forces, and the jihadist globalism of radical Islamists seeking to galvanize their global community of believers into violent action. Market globalism has responded to these challengers by turning into imperial globalisma political belief system that marries the capitalist language of the 1990s with the security concerns of our post-9/11 world. Steger, one of the worlds leading scholars on these subjects, explores globalizations central questions: What, exactly, are the core claims of these conflicting globalisms? How does the imperial globalism of the 2000s differ from the market globalism of the 1990s? How has justice globalism managed to mature into a coherent ideology? What are the most likely future trajectories of this great ideological struggle of the twenty-first century? Written with impressive historical and theoretical breadth, this groundbreaking work is essential reading for all those concerned with the key questions that our shrinking world must face.
