DESCRIPTION:We are very excited to be hosting Prof. Rita Abrahamsen and Pr
 of. Michael C. Williams for a talk on their book "World of the Right"\n\nT
 he contemporary radical Right is not merely a series of nationalist projec
 ts but a global phenomenon. This book shows how radical conservative think
 ers have developed long-term counter-hegemonic strategies that challenge p
 revailing social and political orders both nationally and internationally.
  At the heart of this ideological project is a critique of liberal globali
 sation that seeks to mobilise transversal alliances against a common enemy
 : the 'New Class' of global managerial elites who are accused of undermini
 ng national sovereignty\, traditional values\, and cultures. 'World of the
  Right' argues that while the radical Right is far from a unified politica
 l movement\, its calls for sovereignty\, civilisational orders\, and multi
 polarity enable complex\, strategic convergences with illiberal states suc
 h as China and Russia\, as well as states and people in the Global South. 
 The potential consequences for the future of the liberal world order are p
 rofound and wide-ranging.
