This volume takes an enlightened step back from the ongoing
discussion of globalization. The authors reject the notion that
globalization is an analytically useful term. Rather, this volume
shows globalization as merely the framework of the current
political debate on the future of world power. Some of the many
other novel ideas advanced by the authors include: the explicit
prediction that East Asia is not going to become the center of the
world; the contention that the USSR collapsed for the same reasons
that nearly brought down the United States in 1973; and the notion
that the regional economic networks that are emerging from under
the modern states are in fact rather old formations. The articles
in the volume are organized around three main themes. Part One
explores both the changing patterns of global power from the
viewpoint of geopolitics and the Gramscian approach to the study of
international relations. Part Two further develops the debate among
a number of eminent historians and sociologists challenging both
the apologists for and the opponents of globalization in new and
unexpected ways. Part Three traces the emergence of regional
economic networks and explores the ambiguous problems of security
and identity posed by the old-new transborder formations.
