Dissertation Project
My doctoral dissertation explored the relationship between the structural transformation of nation-states under neoliberal globalization (from nation-states to capital-states) and the surge of populist nationalism (neo-nationalism). I drew on Karl Polanyi’s study of the “great transformation” and focused on the OECD countries over the period 1980-2015. My case studies included France, Australia, Hungary, and South Korea.
