Globalization is a term that describes the contradictory economic,
political, and cultural processes of world capitalist integration.
Although capitalism has been of a global character since the 1400s,
the current phase of globalization is manifest by emergent
transnational institutions, changing relations between
multinational corporations and assaulted paradise of sovereign
nation-states and the development of a global monoculture of
consumption among feuding class divides. This book examines the
relationship between globalization and nation states, the dynamics,
contradictions, and crisis of global capitalism, and the developing
and maturing class struggles and the prospects for social change
and transformation of global capitalism. It examines these class
struggles within the context of the globalization of capital and
draws out the political implications of this process for the future
course of capitalist development on a world scale. In this book
Tatah Mentan drives home the point that contemporary neoliberal
globalization is in fact an advanced stage of capitalist hegemonism
and that the contradictions of 21st century globalization are thus
a projection of the contradictions of capitalism on a global scale,
with all its inherent exploitative characteristics and militarized
class conflicts that will lead to the revolutionary transformation
of vulture capitalist society. He argues that dominant global
processes are not an immutable feature of capitalism, but are
contested by social class actors across these three dimensions.
