Part One Anglo-American amnesia -- Part Two Continental memory wars -- Part Three The new geopolitics |
| Summary |
"Far right movements, parties, and governments are changing the language and logic of international order. Zero-sum geopolitics - from Trump to Brexit - and the rhetoric of putting the national interest 'first' are back, and along with them come a deep fascination with the values of patriarchy, masculinity, and strength. Putting these dramatic shifts in contemporary American and European foreign policy into wider historical and intellectual context, Geopolitical Amnesia explores the liberal crisis beneath the resurgence of far right ideas. Drawing on memory studies, it addresses the ways in which the new geopolitics intersects and interplays with an exhausted and amnesiatic liberalism. Scholars with expertise on national and regional ideological traditions look at contemporary memory wars - competing revisionist histories - from Washington to Warsaw, and from the Anglosphere to Southern, Western, and Eastern Europe. They address the changing conditions of memory and nostalgia and discuss how and why it matters that the new geopolitics takes place in an age of accelerated, fragmented, and digitalized global media. Timely and ambitious, this accessible collection reveals the far right ideas behind the return of geopolitics and the crisis of liberalism that paved its way."-- Provided by publisher |
