Extract

Global Liberalism, Local Populism: Peace and Conflict in Israel/Palestine and Northern Ireland. By Guy Ben-Porat. Syracuse, NY: Syracuse University Press, 2006. 327p. $19.77.

Guy Ben-Porat's valuable book argues that contemporary globalization may transform conflicts and their resolution since it generates hegemonic crisis and fosters neoliberal interests among international and local players. Hence, interactions between localities and transnational capitalist forces may be a crucial predictor of the ways that conflicts have been managed, resolved, and reproduced. In this context, Global Liberalism, Local Populism analyzes the complexities of two protracted, violent clashes: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Catholic-Protestant conflict in Northern Ireland.
