Summary:Our paper examines the transformation of the international economic system. We examine the process of Polanyi’s double movement on the three levels of analysis of the international political economy: systemic, domestic and cognitive.

We will also show, that the increasing popularity of populist political parties might be also understood as a countermovement against forces of marketization.
