Global Governance in Question : Empire, Class and the New Common Sense in Managing North-South Relations Hardback
by Susanne Soederberg
Part of the Critical Introductions to World Politics series
Hardback
Description
Like many buzzwords, 'global governance' is as poorly understood as it is popular.
In contrast to most mainstream accounts, this book examines global economic governance as an integral moment of contemporary capitalism, presenting a critical insight into its real nature and the interests that it serves.
This book begins by asking what has not been discussed in the mainstream debates and why.
Drawing on a Marxist perspective, Susanne Soederberg explores neglected issues including transnational debt and the increasingly coercive nature of US aid to so-called 'failed states'.
She argues that mainstream understandings fail to engage with the wider contradictions that characterise global capitalism.
In consequence, there is no explanation of the changing nature of American empire and capitalist power in the world.
