The Global Economy As Political Space (Critical Perspectives on World Politics)

As contemporary capitalism integrates the planet to an unprecedented extent, the international political economy defines and constitutes new forces, practices, and movements. Not only are power centres shifting away from Cold War poles, but also the spatial and temporal frames of social life, both domestic and international, are reorganising. Addressing these transformations, the authors of this book reach beyond mainstream, economistic approaches to explore the social, political, philosophical, and cultural dimensions of the shift from a nation-state-based economy to a global economy. Aims to go beyond mainstream, economistic approaches to explore the social, political, philosophical and cultural dimensions of the shift from a nation-state-based to a global political economy. Contributors share a commitment to the need for a critical theory of international political economy.
