"The study of international relations now goes well beyond state-to-state politics and even regional politics. Technological forces are working their effects on the world as a whole, bringing state and non-state actors into contact with one another. Globalization, Institutions and Governance provides students with a sophisticated and engaging exploration of the often differing impacts of these technological forces and the wider implications of globalization for theories of global governance and the role of international institutions."--Publisher's website.
Fabian Globalisation Group
"Rather than simply apportioning the blame for world poverty, the Fabian Globalisation Group has produced a manifesto for real change, putting forward a set of solutions to the problems facing the world that combines new multilateral institutions with tougher corporate regulation and a more progressive attitude towards migration. This analysis and advocacy is required reading for anyone who wants to know how a more just world can be created."--Jacket.
Stephen Gill and James H. Mittelman
This book explores the nature of, and conditions for, theoretical innovation in International Studies. Highlighting classic and new research problems, this collection of critically-minded, original essays pushes International Relations scholarship in uncharted directions. Bridging social theory and International Relations theory, it searches for sources of intellectual innovation in the everyday lives of ordinary people. The seventeen contributors are drawn from four continents and include such leading scholars as Richard Falk, James Rosenau, Yoshikazu Sakamoto and Susan Strange. Although a diverse group, they find the contemporary world order is in the throes of a structural transformation, which can be partly understood in terms of emancipation: the self-actualisation of human potential and community that looks beyond the current era in which neo-liberal globalisation is dominant, to a more democratic and just world order.
Adolph Reed, Jr
"In this latest volume, Reed begins with a consideration of the theoretical and practical effect of the decline of the American left over at least that last two decades. First, he outlines the sources and consequences of what he characterizes as the main manifestations of a defeated and demoralized activist politics - sectarianism and the often solipsistic approaches of identity politics. He then argues forcefully for the centrality of class-based political interpretation and action as the indispensable foundation for any progressive movement that can hope to succeed in the United States."--BOOK JACKET.
