The Routledge Handbook of Transformative Global Studies provides
diverse and cutting-edge perspectives on this fast-changing field.
For 30 years the world has been caught in a long 'global
interregnum,' plunging from one crisis to the next and witnessing
the emergence of new, vibrant, multiple, and sometimes
contradictory forms of popular resistance and politics. This global
'interregnum' - or a period of uncertainty where the old hegemony
is fading and the new ones have not yet been fully realized -
necessitates critical self-reflection, brave intellectual
speculation and (un)learning of perceived wisdoms, and greater
transdisciplinary collaboration across theories, localities, and
subjects. This Handbook takes up this challenge by developing fresh
perspectives on globalization, development, neoliberalism,
capitalism, and their progressive alternatives, addressing issues
of democracy, power, inequality, insecurity, precarity, wellbeing,
education, displacement, social movements, violence and war, and
climate change. Throughout, it emphasizes the dynamics for system
change, including bringing post-capitalist, feminist, (de)colonial,
and other critical perspectives to support transformative global
praxis. This volume brings together a mixture of fresh and
established scholars from across disciplines and from a range of
both Northern and Southern contexts. Researchers and students from
around the world and across the fields of politics, sociology,
international development, international relations, geography,
economics, area studies, and philosophy will find this an
invaluable and fresh guide to global studies in the 21st century.
