Contesting Global Order traces dominant values and patterns on a
world level over the last half century. Including a framing
introduction written for the volume, this book presents James H.
Mittelman's most influential essays. It offers cross-regional
analysis, drawing on his fieldwork in nine countries in Africa and
Asia. This research explores mechanisms by which prevailing
knowledge about global order is implicated in its deep tensions:
chiefly, the impetus for development and global governance embodies
aspirations for attaining wellbeing and upholding human dignity;
yet market- and state-driven globalization embraces basic ideas
inscribed in power, thus increasing vulnerability and making the
world more insecure. Rather than exalt one element in this quandary
over another, Mittelman shows how different aspects of the
relationship collide. Examining cases of specific localities,
international organizations, and social movements, this grounded
study unveils evolving structures that shape our times. It projects
scenarios for future global order and how to make it work for the
have-nots. Mittelman consistently forges a critical perspective
throughout this collection. His reflections cut against conventions
in international studies and, more generally, global order. This
volume will be of great interest to all students and practitioners
of development, global governance, and globalization.
