Some projections on political leadership in the context of neoliberalism

Projections of leadership, specifically of political leadership, in the conceptual framework of neoliberalism have demonstrated a total shift of this leadership from ground principles, rules and technologies both in the theoretical and in the practical concept of leadership as we know it, serving and of benefit to the whole society and supporting the social development.

The dominating in the so-called developed world neoliberal ideology has created prerequisites and real conditions for shifting the focus of development of modern civilization from national states to transnational conglomerates. The turbulent passage of the era of industrialization in conditions of another political model has pulled the trigger for the processes of total globalization, not only in economics and finance, but also in all spheres of social life. Information and knowledge have begun to play a peculiar role and significance incomparable to any patterns of humanity's historical development. Modern society calls itself “information” one, but people have actually become such a society; real economy has transformed into an “economy of knowledge”. Not only have these processes been “explained” by the neoliberal ideology, but they have also served as its actual legitimation.
