摘要

This article addresses challenges to the established international order.Its critique becomes particularly discernible at the domestic level,where political and economic frameworks are contested by electorates and anti-establishment movements in Western countries,engulfed by anti-globalisation sentiments and disillusioned with the asymmetric formula of globalisation.Populism implies that the'social revolt,facing the West today,regardless of whether it takes place in France,Greece,Hungary,Poland,the UK or the USA,is not a legitimate response to deep-seated problems but rather is the problem itself.The main aims of this article are to investigate what has caused this surge of support for populism in the West;what the role of the default system of economic governance is in inspiring populist resentment;and,finally,what the identity crisis,stemming from thyperglobalisation,,and wrecking the social order in Western societies has to do with fear,(un)fairness and the redistributive effects of economic globalisation.
