Global Governance in Question - Empire, Class and the New Common Sense in Managing North-South Relations (Paperback, annotated edition)

Susanne Soederberg challenges common understandings of the buzzword 'Global Governance' by demonstrating that its aim is only to further the interests of neo-liberalism at the expense of the poor and of the environment. Written in a clear and accessible way, this book is designed to challenge mainstream International Relations theories. Firmly anchored in an historical materialist framework, the author shows that the various mechanisms and organisations that define and shape global governance reflect in fact the interests of transnational capital, class and political elites. Her historical analysis starts at the interwar period and is brought up to date. She analyses the working of the international financial structures, the Bretton Wood and post Bretton Wood institutions, the role of 'civil society' and transnational corporations, and the relationship between global governance and democratic values. This book is designed as a text book for the International Relations curriculum.
