The Golden Triangle of Nationalism, Gender and the Economic

• In Event: Populism and Power

Abstract

The paper predominantly focuses on the 20th century, and on how ‘moments of trouble’ occur when one dimension is subject to significant dislocation, precipitating significant change in the other two, and resulting in an unbalance between the three dimensions of governance. This is of particular importance for understanding the ongoing economic crisis; those who have focused on post-1989 economic restructuring have rarely understood this dynamic. Therefore, economic restructuring has given rise to unexpected dislocations of populist nationalism and gender scripts. Over time, the research will address several national contexts; this initial contribution begins to address the case of Hungary, with further examples from Japan and Germany.
