Abstract
This paper showcases the rise of populist “people power” nationalism against regimes that embraced Western neoliberalism after the end of the Cold War in 1989, and expanded their bilateral South-South trade with the expanding new political and economic powers, such as Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS). The main theme is that the globalized, liberal, but dictatorial state has created wide gaps between the elite autocrats, and the masses, among whom have arisen red-wearing leaders calling for regime change, eg in South Africa and Uganda.
