Description and Table of Contents
Description
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. The book neither presents nor endorses any particular perspective, but brings together scholars who engage in multiple boundary crossings - traversing disciplines, social identities and histories. The result is a dialogue among participants who, while they may disagree on specific issues, share a commitment to the need for a critical theory of international political economy.
