This book assesses the forces of social struggle shaping the past
and present of the global political economy from the perspective of
historical materialism. Based on the philosophy of internal
relations, the character of capital is understood in such a way
that the ties between the relations of production, state-civil
society, and conditions of class struggle can be realised. By
conceiving the internal relationship of global capitalism, global
war, global crisis as a struggle-driven process, the book provides
a novel intervention on debates within theories of 'the
international'. Through a set of conceptual reflections, on agency,
structure and the role of discourses embedded in the economy, class
struggle is established as our point of departure. This involves
analysing historical and contemporary themes on the expansion of
capitalism through uneven and combined development, the role of the
state and geopolitics, and conditions of exploitation and
resistance. These conceptual reflections and thematic
considerations are then extended in a series of empirical
interventions, including a focus on the 'rising powers' of the
BRICS, conditions of the 'new imperialism', and the ongoing
financial crisis. The book delivers a radically open-ended
dialectical consideration of ruptures of resistance within the
global political economy.
