This book is the first to establish the nature and causes of
violence as key features in the political economy of Australia as
an advanced capitalist society. Australia's neoliberal corporate
security state in seen to represent the emergence of a
post-democratic order, whereby minds and bodies are disciplined to
the dominant ideology of market relations. Locating questions of
the democracy and of the country's economy at the heart of
Australia's political struggle, the author elaborates how violence
in Australia is built into a hegemonic order, characterized by the
concentration of private power and wealth. Identifying the
commodification of people and nature, the construction and
manipulation of antagonisms and enemies, and the politics of fear
as features of a new authoritarianism and one-party-political
state, Erik Paul explores alternatives to the existing neoliberal
hegemonic order. Positing that democratization requires a clearly
defined counter-culture, based on the political economy of social,
economic and political equality, the book draws out the potential
in non-violent progressive social movements for a new political
economy.
