Whether we talk about human learning and unlearning,
securitization, or political economy, the forces and mechanisms
generating both globalization and disintegration are causally
efficacious across the world. Thus, the processes that led to the
victory of the 'Leave' campaign in the June 2016 referendum on UK
European Union membership are not simply confined to the United
Kingdom, or even Europe. Similarly, conflict in Ukraine and the
presidency of Donald Trump hold implications for a stage much wider
than EU-Russia or the United States alone. Patomaki explores the
world-historical mechanisms and processes that have created the
conditions for the world's current predicaments and, arguably,
involve potential for better futures. Operationally, he relies on
the philosophy of dialectical critical realism and on the methods
of contemporary social sciences, exploring how crises, learning and
politics are interwoven through uneven wealth-accumulation and
problematical growth-dynamics. Seeking to illuminate the causes of
the currently prevailing tendencies towards disintegration,
antagonism and - ultimately - war, he also shows how these
developments are in fact embedded in deeper processes of human
learning. The book embraces a Wellsian warning about the
increasingly likely possibility of a military disaster, but its
central objective is to further enlightenment and holoreflexivity
within the current world-historical conjuncture. This work will be
of interest to students and scholars of international relations,
peace research, security studies and international political
economy.
