Beyond left versus right, beyond elites versus populists

Abstract:

The two outstanding features of our age are the globalization of problems and the localization of identities. Climate change, biodiversity loss, financial crises, geopolitical conflict, cyberterrorism, bioterrorism, and pandemics are all increasingly threatening global problems. Meanwhile, identity politics is sweeping the globe, dividing people’s affiliations ever more stringently to conflicting national, cultural, and religious categories.
