A deep investigation of neoliberalism's proselytizers in Eastern Europe and the Global South Where does free market ideology come from? Recent work on the neoliberal intellectual movement around the Mont Pelerin Society has allowed for closer study of the relationship between ideas, interests, and institutions. Yet even as this literature brought neoliberalism down to earth, it tended to reproduce a European and American perspective on the world. With the notable exception of Augusto Pinochet’s Chile, long seen as a laboratory of neoliberalism, the new literature followed a story of diffusion as ideas migrated outward from the Global South. Even in the most innovative work, the cast of characters remains surprisingly limited, clustering around famous intellectuals like Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek. Market Civilizations redresses this absence by introducing a range of characters and voices active in the transnational neoliberal movement from the Global South and Eastern Europe. This includes B. R. Shenoy, an early member of the Mont Pelerin Society from India, who has been canonized in some circles since the Singh reforms; Manuel Ayau, another MPS president and founder of the Marroquín University, an underappreciated Latin American node in the neoliberal network; Chinese intellectuals who read Hayek and Mises through local circumstances; and many others. Seeing neoliberalism from beyond the industrial core helps us understand what made radical capitalism attractive to diverse populations and how often disruptive policy ideas “went local.”

Als "Facetten des Antifeminismus" analysieren die in diesem Sammelband vertretenen Beiträge aktuelle Angriffe und Eingriffe in Bezug auf Geschlechter- und Diversitätsforschung sowie institutionelle Gleichstellungsarbeit. Die Beiträge beschränken sich dabei nicht auf den Wissenschaftsbereich, sondern thematisieren Antifeminismus auch in verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen aus unterschiedlichen disziplinären Perspektiven: der Sozialpädagogik, den Kulturwissenschaften, der Sozialpsychologie, der Philosophie, den Umweltwissenschaften, der Soziologie, der Sozialen Ökologie sowie den Politik- und Erziehungswissenschaften. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser vielfältigen theoretischen Zugänge wird sich dem Themenfeld über zwei Schwerpunkte genähert: Zunächst werden aktuelle Debatten um Antifeminismus, Rechtsextremismus und Antigenderismus in den Blick genommen. Die Beiträge zeigen auf, in welcher Form sich Angriffe und Anfeindungen gegen Geschlechter- und Diversitätsforschung sowie Gleichstellungsarbeit äußern. Im zweiten Schwerpunkt verdeutlichen die Beiträge beispielhaft, wie antifeministisches Gedankengut sowie Vereinnahmungen von rechts in Bezugnahme auf Natur und Kultur in gesellschaftliche Handlungsfelder eindringen.
