Description
The National Interest: Politics After Globalization by Philip Cunliffe provides a critical analysis of how national interest has re-emerged as a dominant political concept in contemporary society. As globalization’s influence wanes, Cunliffe explores the complex relationship between state sovereignty, national identity, and international engagement.
The book traces the intellectual and political trajectories that have led to the revival of nationalist frameworks in policy-making and public discourse. Cunliffe examines how different political actors—from populist movements to establishment institutions—have mobilized the concept of national interest to legitimize their agendas.
Through historical context and contemporary examples, the author challenges conventional narratives about globalization’s inevitability and explores what the reassertion of national interest means for future political organization, economic policy, and international relations.
