I think this article is a good fit for this sub since it discusses the beliefs of the global New Right (article seems to be focused on Europe and the US but is based on author's book which looks to have a more truly global focus). I like the way he calls the New Right "neomercantilism" or "national collectivism". In addition to summarizing the economic and cultural views shared by New Right parties across different countries, the author also provides some important context for understanding how these ideas of national political economy arose.
The thesis is that actually existing global capitalism today (which I think neoliberals generally enjoy and want to continue) depends on an international rule-based order that removes economic decisions from national governments. While this technocratic approach yields some good economic results, it has narrow political appeal and provides an easy target to populists of both left and right. Article ends with a call to re-establish a classical liberal, cosmopolitan politics that actually appeals to voters and suggests some ways to make this program effective.

The same things the Old Right believed in: natural hierarchies (and that they deserve to be on top of them). Conservatism and reactionism by definition can not come up with anything new, only repackage and resell the old to a new generation that hasn’t been innoculated to it yet.
