Recenzii
In a surprising twist, Rabinowitz explains the rise of populism and fascism as paradoxically linked to the greatest scientific advances of our age. Using Karl Polanyi's concept of the 'double movement' and Joseph Schumpeter's theory of innovation, the book compares anti-globalization movements of today with those that arose in the late 19th century. The comparison reveals how economic, social and political precarities created by modern technological revolutions draw people to anti-liberal, 'defensive nationalist' movements on both the left and the right. At a time when democracy is endangered by such inward-looking nationalism, Rabinowitz' unique synthesis of theory and history offers a much-needed analysis of the nature of the threats facing us today.
B. S. Rabinowitz tackles one of the most pressing questions of our time in a refreshingly audacious manner. What has brought such potent threats to democracy in some of the world's most technologically advanced nations? To unravel this puzzle, she goes back more than 150 years and extracts fresh insights from two very different theorists, Karl Polanyi and Joseph Schumpeter. She finds that in the late 20th Century, as in the late 19th Century, technological revolutions fueled globalization that ultimately produced a dangerous 'defensive' nationalism.
This compelling and highly original book synthesizes the views of two of the twentieth century's leading economic sociologists, Karl Polanyi and Joseph Schumpeter, to explain the global resurgence of populism over the last decade. Understanding the historical shift towards economic liberalism as a function of technological progress, Rabinowitz highlights some of the central dynamics driving contemporary populist status anxiety, namely, the relative dislocation and disarticulation of established national, class, and ethnic hierarchies attendant to globalization. Defensive Nationalism is sure to be studied and to inspire fresh insights for years to come.
This book is important for scholars of nationalism.

B. S. Rabinowitz is Associate Professor of Comparative Politics at Rutgers University. Rabinowitz's research addresses large theoretical questions about politics and social organization, from the effects of nationalism and the causes of ethnic conflict to the conditions needed for post-colonial state development. The author's work uniquely synthesizes theory and comparative history to examine how institutions shape leadership decisions and political outcomes, as well as how large structural change explains global social upheavals. Rabinowitz received a Political Science doctorate from University of California, Berkeley, and a Social Science Master's from the University of Chicago.
