The Disintegration of Euro-Atlanticism and New Authoritarianism

More about the book

Focusing on the Euro-zone crisis, the book analyzes the interplay between authoritarianism, austerity, and the rise of right-wing populism in the transatlantic context. It highlights how these dynamics are exacerbated by a global power shift towards China and emerging economies. The authors contend that ordoliberal and neo-liberal austerity measures are ineffective in reversing the decline of Western economies, instead accelerating their downfall and ushering in a new phase of globalization dominated by Asia. This work is aimed at students, scholars, and policymakers in various political and economic fields.
