What are the possibilities for and conditions of global security in
the 21st century?
This book provides an innovative study of future wars, crises
and transformations of the global political economy. It brings
together economic theory, political economy, peace and conflict
research, philosophy and historical analogy to explore alternatives
for the future.
Patomaki develops a bold, original and thought provoking
political economy analysis of the late 20th century
neo-liberalisation and globalisation and their real effects, which
he describes as a 21st century version imperialism. In order for us
to understand global security and to anticipate the potential
threats and crises, he argues that a holistic understanding and
explanation of history is necessary and demonstrates that a
systematic causal analysis of structures and processes is required.
Putting this theory into practice, Patomaki constructs a
comparative explanatory model which traces the rise of imperialism
in the late 19th century and culminated in the First World War. He
argues that even a partial return to the 19th century ideals and
practices is very likely to be highly counterproductive in the 21st
century world and could become a recipe for a major global
catastrophe.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of
international relations, globalization studies, politics, economics
and security studies.
