Power and Resistance in the New World Order

Beschreibung

This challenging work develops a radical theory of the new world order to argue that as the globalization of power intensifies, so too do globalized forms of resistance. Stephen Gill explains how the dialectic of power and resistance involves issues of governance, economy and culture. This struggle is reflected in the questions of American supremacy, the power of capital, market civilization and surveillance power. Thus new forms of political agency and collective action are emerging to challenge dominant powers.

Rezensionen

'This impressive volume is a three-part critical analysis of the interactive dynamics involved in the 'new world order' characterized by conditions of intensified globalization. Using a critical historical materialist (Gramscian, and neo-Marxist) framework, Gill combines bottom-up and top-down approaches to understanding political economy while underscoring the ethical issues involved in the social relations that make up the new world order. Summing Up: Highly recommended.' - Choice
