| Summary / Abstract (Note) | What is the significance of UCD for the field of International Political Economy? In 2019, Justin Rosenberg and Chris Boyle argued that Trotsky’s idea provided an understanding of capitalist world development that helped explain the 2016 Brexit vote and the election of Donald Trump (Rosenberg and Boyle 2019). Situating these events in the longue durée, they interpreted them as outcomes of a unique historical conjuncture of uneven and combined development: neoliberal deregulation in the West had intersected with late-late industrialisation in China; this ‘simultaneity of the non-simultaneous’ multiplied the ‘big country’ effects of China’s industrialisation at a point of maximum openness in the newly deregulated international economy; this produced a major ‘trade shock’ that hastened the decline of manufacturing employment in Britain and the United States, in a geographical pattern that matched the distribution of the Leave and Trump votes. |
