States and Markets

Autor: Susan Strange

Número de Páginas: 305

'[States and Markets] should be read by every student of international political economy.' - International Relations Theory. Susan Strange was one of the most influential international relations scholars of the latter half of the twentieth century. She is regarded by many as the creator of the discipline of international political economy (IPE) and leaves behind an impressive body of work. States and Markets is one of Strange's seminal texts. Strange Introduces the reader to a unique critical model for understanding the relationship between politics and economics centred on her four-faceted model of power consisting of: security, production, finance and knowledge. Using these terms Strange provides a rigorous analysis of the effects of political authority, including states, on markets and conversely of market forces on states. The Revelations edition includes a new foreword by Ronen Palan.

Susan Strange and the Future of Global Political Economy

Autor: Randall Germain

Número de Páginas: 235

This edited volume addresses the 2007/2009 financial crisis as the occasion to engage critically with the corpus of Susan Strange’s work, in order to consider what changes (if any) this crisis portends for the structural organization of the global political economy. The contributors use Strange’s rich conceptual framework to explore the financial crisis and its aftermath, and reflect critically on the broader contributions which her work has made to the discipline of IPE. The volume makes three valuable contributions for scholars and students. First, it raises the profile of Susan Strange, a unique and powerful contributor to the field of IPE whose ideas matter to our current circumstance and can provide deep and enduring insights into important questions and issues. Secondly, each contributor to this volume combines her work and ideas with that of other traditions or individual theorists in ways that extend and/or deepen Strange’s own efforts. Finally, this volume leaves us with a judicious optimism about the future of both IPE and the world as it actually is, on the ground. This book will be of interest to scholars and students who are interested in the dynamics shaping...

Eliten in Lateinamerika - Am Beispiel Chile von 1964 – 1973 unter der Administration Eduardo Frei und Salvador Allende

Autor: Stefan Spriestersbach

Número de Páginas: 52

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Politik - Region: Mittel- und Südamerika, Note: 1,3, Universität Kassel, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Gehe nicht, wohin der Weg führen mag, sondern dorthin, wo kein Weg ist, und hinterlasse eine Spur“ (Jean-Paul Friedrich Richter *1763 - †1825). Diese Worte beschreiben meiner Meinung nach den Weg, den Eduardo Frei und Salvador Allende mit ihren Zielen in der Agrar- und Kupferpolitik gegangen sind. In Chile, einem Land, welches durch die Kolonisation der Spanier seit dem 16. Jhd. geprägt wurde, versuchten beide einen gesellschaftlichen Wandel durch ehrgeizige Reformvorhaben zu realisieren. Immer wiederkehrende Schwierigkeiten in der Neuordnung der Agrar- und Kupferpolitik ließen sie von ihren Bemühungen nicht abbringen. Dabei bildete der parlamentarische Weg einer Gesetzes- und Verfassungsänderung nur einen Aspekt der politischen Auseinandersetzung. Auf der einen Seite versuchten politische Eliten aus Chile die Verabschiedung der Reformvorhaben zu verhindern. Auf der anderen bauten inter- sowie transnationale politische Eliten außenpolitischen Druck auf, um auf diese Weise die Reformvorhaben zu erschweren. Auch auf...

Maestri of Political Science

Autor: Donatella Campus , Gianfranco Pasquino , Martin Bull

Número de Páginas: 167

This book continues the editors' work (started in the volume “Masters of Political Science”) of highlighting and re-evaluating the contributions of the most important political scientists who have gone before. Its basis is the belief that the future development and sophistication of the discipline will benefit from a critical understanding of the works of early political “giants” whose contributions are presented and analysed: Gabriel A. Almond, Raymond Aron, Philip Converse, Maurice Duverger, Stanley Hoffmann, Paul Lazarsfeld, Arend Lijphart, Elinor Ostrom, William H. Riker, Stein Rokkan and Susan Strange. The editors review and consider the contributions of these maestri to the study of contemporary democracy, political culture, electoral systems, political communication, the transformation of capitalism and state formation in Europe. Maestri of Political Science is aimed not only at a new generation of political scientists but is a valuable opportunity for established scholars to see new light through old windows.

An Introduction to International Political Economy Susan Strange, formerly University of Warwick. Professor Strange was well known for her unorthodox and stimulating views on the international political economy. Here she provides the student and scholar with a new model synthesising politics and economics by means of a four-faceted structural analysis of the effects of any kind of political authority (including states) on markets, and, conversely, of market forces on states. This refreshingly new framework of analysis is an ideal introductory text.

Globalization and the related issues of power and identity are central concerns in international studies, whether viewed from a political, economic, spatial or human perspective. The fully updated second edition of this major collection brings together a multi-disciplinary group of international scholars to interrogate globalization in theory and practice. Gender, identity, citizenship, migration, issues related to the state, and economic and technological change, are analyzed in depth. Several of the authors have revised their chapters from the earlier edition and others have provided completely new contributions in key areas such as the internet, social movements, environmental security and world cities.

Several further chapters highlight different aspects of inequality which have become central to the globalization debate. Book jacket.

The Art of the Feud

Autor: Jose V. Ciprut

Número de Páginas: 226

Poised between the end of the Cold War and the start of a new millennium, international relations theory finds itself at a major intellectual crossroads. Globalizing phenomena, emerging non-state actors, revolutionizing technologies, and a self-redefining fluidity in power relations are just a few of the challenges that international relations theorists must find ways to take into account. It is increasingly apparent that traditional paradigms alone are not up to the task. The time is right for a new set of explorations; based, ironically, on one of the field's greatest traditions—its willingness to apply an interdisciplinary approach to asking new questions and finding newer answers. The outstanding contributors to this landmark volume offer a fundamental reexamination of the basic assumptions and theoretical tools of traditional international relations theory. Ciprut draws on a wide range of concepts, from the hidden dimensions of mindset and language to the societal implications of evolutionary ecology. Unabashedly creative and iconoclastic in its willingness to search for new insights, The Art of the Feud is a substantiated call to seek more inclusive, dynamic, and...
