Global structures enabled ideological community for marginalized intellectual movements

Evidence

This is a narrative about a network of small groups, which were isolated in specifi c universities and commensurately marginalized from national debate, developing the capacity to act as a broad and diverse community by conceiving of their project in supranational terms. Contemporary scholarship often treats community and global society in antipodal terms, but in the case of ideologies in abeyance the very possibility of community can depend on structures developed on a global scale. — Angus Burgin, The Great Persuasion, 147

Categorization

• DEFINE: Introduces ‘ideology in abeyance’ — a concept for a doctrine marginalized from national debate that maintains community through supranational organization.
• QUESTION: ‘Ideologies in abeyance’ is a striking concept — does Burgin define it more fully elsewhere, and how does it relate to broader sociology of intellectuals?
• XREF: connects to: Conservative ideas formed through cross-national networks and institutional contexts, not isolated biography. — Angus Burgin, The Great Persuasion: Reinventing Free…, 27; Neoliberalism’s spread depended on transnational discourse networks rather than national institutions alone — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin: The Making…, 2118; Neoliberalism rose to hegemony through transnational networks of scholars and allies — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin: The Making…, 81 (+7 more)
