Abstract

The globalized socioeconomic system seems to be undergoing a profound crisis and radical structural transformation. This transitional era appears to be leading gradually to a form of a “new globalization,” which has not been definitively shaped yet. This article aims to establish why this new globalization emerges nowadays. First, it examines the postwar phases of world capitalism (from 1945 onward) based on the “evolutionary structural triptych” that explanatorily unifies different theoretical approaches to conclude that the previous globalization period of 1980-2008 has come full circle. Then, it concludes by presenting a critical overview of different approaches to the new globalization and proposes a novel definition of the phenomenon. Finally, it outlines some points that appear crucial for the advent of the desirable new globalization—towards an innovational and realistic global liberalism.
