Описание: The etymology of Nexum is linked to a prehistoric Roman institution of bonded slavery; nexus were people living in this kind of limited enslavement. In the social sciences, it describes the emergence of plural political economies, supporting economic and political globalisation, and rendering institutions of hierarchy, dependence and domination over the most vulnerable and marginalised groups in human society. Global interconnectivity amid democratic nations advocating economic nationalism, neoconservative, and ethnocentric ideologies, policies and laws in the west and Asia has rendered greater irresolvable contradictions and inconsistencies in the pursuit of equality and justice.Global Nexus: Political Economies, Interconnectivity and the Social Sciences is a provocative critique of the social sciences in the age of neo-conservative and alt-right globalisation sweeping across modern democracies globally. The writer persuasively argues that the mainstream western social science modality of describing indigenous knowledge and sub-altern discourses as alternative knowledge is due for serious review, for it describes, devalues and renders it the same renegade status as the alternate realities of the alt-right, neo-conservative agencies of Western and Asian governments. Indigenous knowledge indeed has been the core source of knowledge of the social sciences but has been reduced to academic fodder as social scientists continue to utilise these sources to advance analytical constructs from western philosophical discourses. However, Indigenous discourses are now salvaged and mainstreamed by other disciplines in literature, communications, media, and investigative journalism, to propose that worldviews and ideas of the underclasses, including women, migrants, minorities, refugees, war prisoners and refugees should be brought to the fore and mainstreamed for the reader to understand that the stories they tell, and their reasons why tell them, are closer to truth than fiction. These lost voices, often silenced, suppressed and understated generate new knowledge of the marginalised and disadvantaged sectors of modern society, reflecting the social realities of globalisation. The denouncement of credible, newsworthy information, data and analysis as fake when these expose the diabolical, contradictory and oppressive policies of democratic governments is not a strength of the contemporary social scientist, in particular, the anthropologist, as readers turn to investigative journalists and communication specialists to expose falsities of official truths perpetuated by neo-conservative, alt-right governments.The book vividly recollects global events in the first 12 months of the Trump administration in the US, and relates it to contemporary trends of neo-conservatism, ethno-centrism, racism, and misogyny, globally and in Southeast Asian democratised states in particular, suggesting that plural political economies are emerging everywhere and globally, subject to varying colonial and post-colonial histories, in reaction and response to the pursuit of wealth, power and vital global resources. In the growing phenomenon of global agencing, wealth- and poverty-generating institutions exist together in complex sets of hierarchical relationships, strategies and alliances, with dire consequences for those on the wrong side of the global spectrum.
