Description

This book examines the social-state, neoliberal, catalytic-state and democratic-cosmopolitan models of globalisation. Each tends to function in a manner contradicting essential claims made by its leading advocates. This immanent contradiction' provides a theoretical warrant for moving to a new position, addressing the shortcomings of the previous framework. The book also examines a Marxian model of capitalist globalisation, in which the irresolvable contradictions and social antagonisms of the capitalist global order are explicitly recognized and overcome.'
