To get a better sense of power dynamics in global politics, this
book presents an innovative theoretical framework, combining a
critical engagement with, and further development of, Michel
Foucault's governmentality on the one hand, and the theory of world
society of the Stanford School of Sociology on the other. Making an
original contribution to academic debates about power and global
political order, this book develops a comprehensive theoretical
perspective on power relations and political dynamics. The book
starts from the presupposition that any theoretical engagement of
that kind requires nuanced empirical study as well. It therefore
analyzes the dynamics of world-societal order in the concrete
empirical example of Palestine, and raises the question of how its
political and societal order comes into existence. The author
argues that governmentality represents a fundamental pattern of
political order in world society that also profoundly affects power
dynamics in Palestine. This insight has two important implications:
First, power relations do not follow dichotomous distinctions such
as international/domestic or global/local, but manifest themselves
within world society. Second, therefore, order that comes into
existence in Palestine needs to be understood as world-societal
order. Offering a comprehensive understanding of power relations
and patterns of political order(ing) embedded in world society, the
book provides a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics that
contribute to the political and societal order of Palestine. This
book will be of interest to scholars and students of Middle East
Studies, Palestine Studies, International Relations, International
Political Sociology, International Relations Theory,
Governmentality Studies, and Political Theory.
