Crises of (neo)liberalism and the functioning of international regimes
Abstract
The article focuses on the analysis of the functioning of neo-liberal ideas in the context of various crises currently affecting the West. Its hypothesis is the statement that neoliberalism – a doctrine formed there – contributes to a gradual transformation of the structures of the Western world, the political and economic significance of which – as a result of the changes taking place – is gradually decreasing. Due to increasing social inequalities, the political and socio-economic architecture of the West is becoming more and more similar to the ones that have so far existed in the peripheral areas. The perceived reaction to the above phenomenon is, among others, increasing importance of the radical movements that challenge the existing paradigms in the field of politics and economics. Despite numerous crises affecting Western structures of power and economy, the dominance of the analysed ideology is still noticeable there. However, a conviction that the neo-liberal era in international relations is about to end is emerging . It is potentially leading to the decomposition of multilateral institutions of world politics, which so far has been a transmission belt for neo-liberal ideas.
