ABSTRACT

This article advances Rodrik's political trilemma of the world economy by using insights from Polanyi’s The Great Transformation, which helps to grasp the interwoven dynamics of long-term transformations due to climate change and geopolitical reordering on one hand, and on the other short-term political ruptures due to countermovements. Rodrik's globalization trilemma shows the incompatibility of hyperglobalization with the need for an enlarged democratic policy space. Its nodes (globalization, nation state and democracy), however, have to be redefined to grasp contemporary dynamics of deglobalization. Based on a modified political trilemma of contemporary social-ecological transformation, I discuss and compare three visions and the resultant strategies: (1) Liberal globalism, focusing on hyperglobalization and individualism, (2) nationalistic capitalism, stressing national sovereignty and authoritarian governance, and (3) foundational economy based on planetary coexistence which combines selective economic deglobalization with a strengthening of a place-based foundational economy, and their respective social-ecological infrastructural configurations.

摘要

本文利用波兰尼的《大转型》中的见解，推进罗德里克的世界经济政治三难困境，这有助于把握一方面由于气候变化和地缘政治重新排序导致的长期转型的交织动态，另一方面由于逆向运动导致的短期政治破裂。罗德里克的全球化三难困境表明，超全球化与扩大民主政策空间的需要是不相容的。然而，它的节点（全球化、民族国家和民主）必须重新定义，以掌握当代去全球化的动态。基于当代社会生态转型的政治三难困境，我讨论和比较了三种愿景和由此产生的策略：（1）自由主义全球主义，侧重于超全球化和个人主义，（2）民族主义资本主义，强调国家主权和威权治理，
