Tribalization is a global megatrend in today’s world. The election
of Donald Trump, the Brexit vote, populist movements like Catalan
separatism - together with democratic backsliding in Central and
Eastern Europe - are all examples of tribalization. Fuelled by
anti-globalism and identity politics, tribalization is drawing up the
drawbridge to the world. It is putting cultural differences before
dialogue, collaboration and universal liberal values.
But tribalism is a dangerous road to go down. With it, argues Marlene
Wind, we have put democracy itself in danger. Tribalism is not just
about being pro-nation, anti-EU and anti-global. It is in many
instances a bigger and more fundamental movement that casts aside the
liberal democratic principles we once held in common.
At a time when former defenders of liberal values are increasingly
silent or have even joined the growing chorus of tribalists, this book
is a wakeup call. Drawing on a wide range of examples from the UK and
the US to Spain, Hungary and Poland, Wind highlights the dangers of
identity politics and calls on people to stand up for democracy and
the rule of law.
