Hyperglobalism is a label used for diverse claims that globalization has decisively undermined the nation-state as a container and regulator of economic, cultural, and political affairs. Hyperglobalists are held to believe that global markets and technological advances—particularly in transport and communications sectors—have created globalized flows of such a volume and velocity that socio-economic, cultural entities and patterns of power relations have been radically reconfigured as a result, not just quantitatively but also qualitatively. Some suggest that this will ultimately lead to the emergence of a singular “borderless” world, while others focus on the reconfiguration of new borders along nonterritorial lines, e.g., global networks, global cities, regional states, or global class formations. Hyperglobalist analyses have pointed to new strategies in economic and business management, new political institutions, and, for some, a revised framework of thinking for a global age that differs in fundamental respects from that of modernity. As a term, ...

There are many different approaches to the study of globalization. This simple point testifies at once to the vitality of the field of global studies, but also to the contested and diverse nature of contemporary social theory. Alongside this diversity of theory in general, the range of approaches to the global is difficult to categorize into straightforward theoretical lineages. This is in part precisely because the intellectual climate in which most of the studies of globalization emerged was one of fundamental fracturing across many different fields. Studies of globalization and, more generally, studies in the broad and loosely defined field of global studies, became conscious of themselves as such during the 1990s at a time when the direct-line lineages of classic social theory were being broken or at least segmented. As we will argue, this had profoundly contradictory implications for the narrative of globalism, the newest and grandest of all the grand narratives. Paradoxically, globalism was the one generalizing narrative that seemed to escape this critique, at least in the mainstream. This was partly because the dominant ideological expression of globalism at the time—neoliberalism, which was yet to be named as such—was also beginning to take questions such as movement across borders and the dissolution of national sovereignty as both self-evidently good things. Concurrently, many critics of emergent neoliberalism came to the same political conclusions on these matters, albeit with quite different normative content. That is, while methodologically everything conspired against an integrated theory of globalization, normatively there was a shift in the dominant common sense of the age, such that both right-oriented economists and some left-oriented theorists and activists began to advocate a ‘borderless world’.
“Globalization is an inevitable element of our lives. We cannot stop it any more than we can stop the waves from crashing on the shore” (Cited in Fairclough, 2009, p. 325). These were the powerful words of Stuart Eizenstat (American undersecretary of State). Indeed, a plethora of international economic assessments, productivity indexes and competitiveness reports exist that suggestively legitimize this statement. In addition, numerous companies are operational on a ‘global’ scale and emerging economies are gaining rapid significance within international trade. The question arises however if these processes should be considered as economic globalization? In case of an affirmative answer; who or what is causing it then, and do these processes have a single inevitable outcome as implied by the opening statement? In order to answer these questions; I will critically address the globalization classifications of Held et al. (1999) i.e. sceptics, transformationalist and hyperglobalist. Then I will argue the importance of language ‘to make sense of the world’ through a social-constructivist paradigm. Lastly, I will test the ‘hyperglobalist’ thesis by applying them to the Netherlands; supposedly the 2nd most globalized country in the world. Throughout this essay I will criticize hyperglobalism and argue that –while there are evident signs of economic globalization occurring– it tends to be overstated. In addition –and possibly more troubling– it will be argued that some of those hyperbolic discourses can actually contribute to a globalization process that perpetrates a neoliberal political agenda.

Globalization, deglobalization and the liberal international orderFor decades, globalization and the liberal international order evolved side by side. Recently, however, deglobalizing forces have been on the rise and the liberal international order has come to be increasingly beleaguered. The special issue ‘Deglobalization? The future of the liberal international order’ examines the interconnectedness of globalization and deglobalization processes on the one hand and the trajectory of the liberal international order on the other. This introduction provides a conceptual frame for the articles to follow. It discusses globalization and deglobalization processes, compares how they have been intertwined with the liberal international order in the past and presently, and explores how these differences are likely to affect the future of world politics. The special issue makes three important contributions. First, we examine globalization and deglobalization processes systematically. Second, we break new ground in studying the future of international orde...

Economic and Political Deglobalization: An Overview of Arguments2023 •
Theoretical interest in globalization has been intense in the last decades. Notably, about 1.000 articles on globalization were published annually from 2000 to 2010 (Dobratz, Waldner, Buzzell 2021: 627). They reached to all sorts of conclusions, from dark scenarios of a world extremely polarized between powerful global elites and impoverished masses, to hyperoptimistic predictions for a common future of cosmopolitanism, global democratization, and the strengthening of international cooperation and human rights. However, recent developments such as the global financial crisis of 2008, the refugee crisis in 2015, the pandemic in 2020, and the war in Ukraine in 2022, have intensified a contrasting debate, that of "deglobalization", namely a phase of either slowing down or interrupting the practices of globalization. In this article, we overview the arguments of those suggesting an economic and a political deglobalization is unfolding. Then, we discuss some important aspects of a possible reform of globalization ("reglobalisation") and suggest that a continuation of neoliberal globalization would lead to even deeper socioeconomic inequalities, the further shrinking of the welfare state and the weakening of the position of labor in the economy.
