As the world becomes ever more unequal, people become ever more
'disposable'. Today, governments systematically exclude sections of
their populations from society through heavy-handed policing. But
it doesn't always go to plan. William I. Robinson exposes the
nature and dynamics of this out-of-control system, arguing for the
urgency of creating a movement capable of overthrowing it. The
global police state uses a variety of ingenious methods of control,
including mass incarceration, police violence, US-led wars, the
persecution of immigrants and refugees, and the repression of
environmental activists. Movements have emerged to combat the
increasing militarization, surveillance and social cleansing;
however many of them appeal to a moral sense of social justice
rather than addressing its root - global capitalism. Using shocking
data which reveals how far capitalism has become a system of
repression, Robinson argues that the emerging megacities of the
world are becoming the battlegrounds where the excluded and the
oppressed face off against the global police state.
