Globalization and Capitalist Geopolitics is concerned with the
nature of corporate power against the backdrop of the decline of
the West and the struggle by non-western states to challenge and
overcome domination of the rest of the world by the West. This book
argues that although the US continues to preside over a
quasi-imperial system of power based on global military
preponderance and financial statecraft, and remains reluctant to
recognize the realities global economic convergence, the age of
imperial state hegemony is giving way to a new international order
characterized by capitalist sovereignty and competition between
regional and transnational concentrations of economic power. This
title seeks to interrogate the structure of world order by
examining leading approaches to globalization and political economy
in international relations and international political economy.
Breaking with the classical school, Woodley argues that geopolitics
should be understood as a transnational strategic practice employed
by powerful state actors, which mirrors predatory corporate rivalry
for control over global resources and markets, reproducing the
structural conditions for corporate power through the transnational
state form of capital. In a period of increasing geopolitical
insecurity and economic instability this title provides an
authoritative yet accessible commentary on debates on capitalism
and globalization in the wake of the financial crisis. It is
valuable resource for students and scholars seeking to develop a
deeper understanding of the historical determinants of the changing
dynamics of neoliberal capitalism and their implications for world
order.
