Nationalism and Populism as the Driving Forces of Economic Deglobalization, Regionalism, and Localism Processes
José G. Vargas-Hernández (Instituto Tecnológico Mario Molina, Unidad Académica Zapopan, Mexico)
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-8705-8.ch002
Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to analyze nationalism and populism as the driving forces of economic deglobalization processes and regionalism. The analysis departs from the assumption that the economic deglobalization processes respond to more complex dynamic forces created by the economic, financial, and the most recent sanitary crisis that blocks the continuity of economic globalization. Moreover, at the center of the analysis is the conceptualization that both globalization and deglobalization are two faces of the same coin, but with opposite driving forces. These driving forces of deglobalization lead to regional and more local solutions to economic growth and social and environmental problems.
