    Abstract

    The result of the recent Italian election follows a string of political contests from Brexit to remind us that while governments often view international economic integration as a path to increasing prosperity and wellbeing, there is a trend of anti-globalization sentiment - a “globalization backlash” - influencing elections in western democracies.
