Part One of this book examines the social-state, neoliberal,
catalytic-state, and democratic-cosmopolitan models of
globalisation. Each necessarily tends to function in a manner
contradicting essential claims made by its leading advocates. This
"immanent contradiction" provides a theoretical warrant for moving
to a new position, addressing the shortcomings of the previous
framework. The first three chapters of Part Two are devoted to a
Marxian model of capitalist globalisation, in which the
irresolvable contradictions and social antagonisms of the
capitalist global order are explicitly recognised. The final
chapter is devoted to a Marxian model of socialist globalisation,
in which those contradictions and antagonisms are overcome,
bringing the systematic dialectic of globalisation to a
close.
Tony Smith, Ph.D. (1980) in Philosophy, Stony Brook State
University of New York, is currently Professor of Philosophy of
Iowa State University. He has published extensively in the field of
Marxian social theory, including The Logic of Marx's 'Capital' and
Technology and Capital in the Age of Lean Production (SUNY Press
1990, 2000).
