ABSTRACT

While many scholars have analysed neo-liberalism (i.e. market globalism) as an ideology of globalization, much less is known about alternative and emerging ideologies that challenge neoliberalism on a global scale. Addressing this gap, I critically examine the ‘human development and capabilities approach’ (HDCA) as a counter-ideology to neoliberalism promoted by the United Nations. Applying morphological discourse analysis and incorporating critical insights from recent work by Manfred Steger and Paul James, this study demonstrates how the HDCA (i.e. capabilities globalism) functions as a well-developed ideology steeped in a global imaginary. Yet, despite having multiple strengths, HDCA morphology and deployment have limited its potential global resonance. In response, I propose that an ideology committed to global human development should take more seriously four pivotal factors: state capacity, solidarity, spirituality, and the role of intergovernmental bodies like the United Nations.

摘要

尽管许多学者将新自由主义（即市场全球化）作为全球化的意识形态进行了分析，但对于在全球范围内挑战新自由主义的替代意识形态和新兴意识形态却知之甚少。为了弥补这一差距，我认真地研究了“人类发展与能力方法”（HDCA），作为联合国倡导的新自由主义的反意识形态。应用形态学话语分析并将Manfred Steger和Paul James的最新著作中的重要见解纳入其中，该研究证明了HDCA（即能力全球化））的功能是深深植根于全球想象中的发达意识形态。然而，尽管具有多种优势，但HDCA的形态和部署限制了其潜在的全球共鸣。作为回应，我建议致力于全球人类发展的意识形态应更认真地考虑四个关键因素：国家能力，团结，精神和联合国等政府间机构的作用。
