Beyond nations and continents? Harmony and solidarity as common endeveaours in a digital era of populism, propaganda and fiction?

Hanne Petersen

Abstract

In the 21st Century China and the EU have used concepts, philosophies and principles of harmony and solidarity in attempts to counter internal tensions and secure legitimacy. Sustainability as a concept and principle relates more widely to transnational environmental challenges and climate change. Populism, dystopian fiction, market, and political propaganda are normative reactions to the present uncertainty in a fragmented transnational world society. Such normative reactions and tools may both support and undermine legitimacy of some involved actors. Legal institutions, cultures and concepts undergo major changes during a period characterized by turbulence both within and between states.
