The central argument of this book is that the univocal ontology and
corresponding immanent metaphysics of the French philosopher Gilles
Deleuze (1925-1995) can provide a theoretical perspective capable
of accounting for the complex nature of world politics. Drawing on
a wide variety of Deleuze's writings, it develops a thorough
investigation of his ontology and metaphysics as they pertain to
core questions of world politics such as power, identity,
hierarchy, space, time, territory and the state. The book explores
the dynamics of contemporary world politics and issues by focusing
on the 'anti' or 'alter-globalization movement' (AGM). It analyses
several approaches to social and political theory which deal
explicitly with the AGM including global governance theory,
international relations, social movement theory, Marxism, and
post-Marxism. These are contrasted with a larger Deleuzian theory
which can be of use when addressing the diffuse, and often
paradoxical aspects of world politics. Deleuze's work poses a major
challenge to traditional understanding of global politics and this
book will be of considerable interest to those with an interest in
social and political theory, critical international relations and
globalization studies.
