Beyond Regressive Nationalism and the Neoliberal Model of Development

David Neilson

Review of Radical Political Economics, 2021, vol. 53, issue 1, 17-34

Abstract: This paper contends that forms of nationalism, from progressive to regressive, link closely with the form of the prevailing “model of development.†Specifically, first, this paper makes the case that the present political struggle between an ascending alt-right “regressive nationalism†and a declining “neoliberal cosmopolitanism†is inscribed in the contradictory but interacting logics of the national and global dimensions of the “neoliberal model of development.†In this conjuncture, the anti-neoliberal democratic socialist Left is also growing. However, while without an interlocking ideological imaginary and regulatory blueprint of a nationally progressive model of global development, it struggles to take center stage. Therefore, second, this paper aspires to contribute to moving beyond the present “morbid interregnum†by outlining elements of such a model of development.
