Challenging the deglobalization narrative: Global flows have remained resilient through successive shocks

We challenge the popular narrative that the world has entered a period of deglobalization, arguing that deglobalization is still a risk rather than a current reality. Drawing upon the DHL Global Connectedness Index, we show that international flows have not decreased relative to domestic activity, there is not an ongoing shift from global to regional business, and geopolitically driven shifts in international flows still primarily involve countries at the center of present conflicts. We propose policy and research implications, warning that misperceptions of deglobalization could themselves contribute to costly reductions in international openness.

This paper addresses the problematisation of the ‘left behind’ in right wing populist governmental strategies in the aftermath of Brexit. As diverse political actors, journalists and commentators questioned and sought to account for the outcome of the vote, we explore Theresa May’s particular contribution, as the left behind came into view as a problem for state rule. We reveal May’s shifting and often ambiguous ontology of the left behind, highlighting the manner in which she deploys discourses of globalisation, as she challenges an avaricious and culturally detached business elite, and the state, for their failure to hold business in check and to advance the interests of the left behind. Nonetheless, we argue for the continuing relevance of neoliberal discourse for the way May questions the predicament of the left behind, and reimagines their government. Brexit’s wake, we suggest, marks not a radical break with the logic of neoliberal reason that Foucauldians in MOS have explored, but a compromised mutation that brings the state to the fore. Crucially, May’s intervention also portends the government of what came to be known as ‘culture wars’. On the one hand, the left behind were to be the target object of haphazard schemes for the remediation of the inequalities they experience. On the other, their cultural marginalisation was to be addressed by enrolment in countless cultural wars mobilised by elite political actors. Our paper contributes to the literature by offering a Foucauldian analysis addressing the consequences of Brexit for the marginalised and economically vulnerable.
