Introduction: Contemporary Counter-Movements in the Age of Brexit and Trump

Abstract: Brexit and the election of President Trump in the United States are the result of the rise of farright populist movements which can be observed in Europe, North America, and other regions of the world. Whereas populism itself is one response to neoliberalism, globalization, and austerity measures, the election of Trump, in particular, has caused a new wave of protest. To a far lesser extent, on the 60th anniversary of the founding of the European Union in March 2017, people in the UK and many European countrie… Show more

“…Authors addressing the consequences of Brexit have focused on the potential damage to national prosperity and the future likelihood of greater socio-cultural polarisation (Dagnis et al, 2016;Guldi, 2017;Morgan, 2017;Oliver, 2017), while a smaller number of commentators have emphasised the opportunities that Brexit has provided for future leftist activism and social movements (e.g. Roth, 2018;Ishkanian, 2019).…”

“…In the United States, the restoration of the classic liberal democracies built on brotherhoods also implies a defense of the white supremacy that defined the boundaries of the national family. In European and other democracies where brotherhood implied a male-led expansion of the welfare state, the defense of the borders that limited welfare provision to an ethnically defined nation also connects the democratic with the demographic challenge (Roth 2018). The historical construction of governance in the demos as masculine and sex/family as women's responsibility has made gender crucial in many countries to specific debates about reproductive policy issues, responses to the greater representation of women in political leadership, and reactions to masculinized political performances.…”

“…Reproduction as both a biological and social process rests on sex/gender as a system (Connell 2002;Yuval-Davis 1997). The politics of reproduction generates both divisions and solidarity by gender identity, sexuality, class, race, nation, and age (Ferber 1997;Roth 2018). In the United States, the political parties not only divide sharply in their relationship to this new partnership model but also in their willingness to embrace diversity of representation as better realizing the values of human rights and social justice latent in liberal democracy (Viebeck 2018).…”

“…We only analyse anti-austerity movements from the left (cf. Della Porta, 2015) even though we acknowledge that right-wing populist movements also represent a significant response to neoliberalism and austerity (Roth, 2018). Although we lack data for comparison, we suspect that the gender dynamics of anti-austerity movements from the left differ from those of right-wing populist movements.…”
