This means a new politics not only of identity, recognition and representation but also one of social reproduction, redistribution, solidarity and social justice. New norms of leadership need to take into account that all individuals bear responsibility for the care of the young and the old, the healthy and the sick, and ensure that social institutions are in place so that these needs are fully met. Indeed, in our discussion at the Helsinki Symposium, Bakker cited recent feminist research on this question related to business and education leaders.
Of these, the most important values are solidarity and social justice that can challenge the inertia inherent in the present order and better address this global categorical imperative. Mustapha Pasha, in Chapter 8, sees neoliberalism and Orientalism as inimical to plurality, including the pluralities (and contradictions) of Islam. He therefore argues that progressive global leadership must avoid the fundamental errors of Orientalism, which deny the variety of Islamic concepts of justice, equality, human dignity and fairness as well as its conceptions of world order.
Some of the key features of neoliberalism identified in the book include (1) increases in the turnover time of capital and the widening exploitation of human beings and nature; (2) the deeper commoditization of politics and culture; (3) strategies of depoliticization designed to marginalize or discredit political alternatives; (4) practices of global governance that extend the world market and facilitate expanded capital accumulation, some of which are shaped by ‘experts’ who define concepts and strategies of regulation, claim understandings of crises and provide market-based solutions to global problems; and (5), in this context, neoliberalism involves a tendency towards commoditized, undemocratic and charismatic forms of leadership and an aesthetic of crisis that promotes the market as the most efficient and desirable solution to all problems.
