Presented by Penguin.
Today, globalism has a poor reputation. ‘People of the globe’ are depicted as recklessly uninterested in how international financial forces make a difference local communities. In the meantime, nationalists tend to be derided as racists and bigots. But imagine if the two were not so far aside? What could globalists study from the powerful sense of belonging that nationalism has created? Faced with the injustices from the world’s economic and political program, what should a responsible about The Accountable Globalist: What People of the World Can Learn from Nationalism globalist perform?
British-Iraqi development expert Hassan Damluji proposes six principles – from changing how we consider mobility to shutting down tax havens – which can help build consensus for any more powerful globalist identity. He demonstrates that globalism is not limited to ‘Davos guy’ but is usually a really mass phenomenon that’s developing fastest in emerging countries. Rather than ‘nowhere’ identity, it really is a new group solidarity that sits alongside additional allegiances.
With a wealth of illustrations from america to India, China and the Middle East, The Responsible Globalistoffers a boldly optimistic and pragmatic blueprint for building an inclusive, global nation. This is a century-long project, where success isn’t assured. But unless we can reimagine mankind as a single nationwide community, Damluji warns, the gravest risks we face will not be defeated.
