The crisis of Northern capitalism and failure of hegemonic global
governance have created a facilitative environment for
post-hegemonic initiatives promoting South-South cooperation. Major
Southern countries - especially the BRICS - have taken the lead in
pushing for alternative governance mechanisms that are strongly
articulated in the areas of economic, financial, cultural, and
defense cooperation. This book focuses on the historical,
political-economic, and geopolitical context in which major
Southern countries implement a post-hegemonic agenda. Providing a
global and comprehensive perspective through a series of focused
case studies from Europe, Latin America, Eurasia, and Africa, the
author develops a new approach to the multipolarization of world
politics based on "global hegemony". Highly recommended for
scholars, students, and activists involved in global political
economy, regionalism studies, and international development, this
book will be of interest to anyone seeking to develop their
understanding of world politics and South-South cooperation.
This book explores how imperialism has been evolving in the
neoliberal era, with the aim of providing a systematic and
integrative understanding of the inner dynamics and vulnerabilities
of the contemporary imperialist system. Asking how it has been
possible to sustain an imperialist system that fails to address the
problems of unemployment, declining standards of living and
globalizing conflicts, the author draws upon theoretical and
empirical contributions from the current literature to further
recent efforts at re-conceptualizing imperialism under the
conditions of neoliberal globalization and advances a critique of
the school of transnationalism in global political economy. The
author puts forward that contemporary imperialism rests on a
triangular structure composed of (a) economic imperialism, which is
driven by a neoliberal logic of maximizing monopoly profits at
massive societal costs; (b) military imperialism, which is shaped
by the neoliberal transformation of the US military-industrial
complex with the rise of private armies, the globalization of
narcocapitalism, and the weaponization of Islamist terrorism and
ethno-religious divides; and (c) cultural imperialism, which is led
by the media- and nonprofit-corporate complexes, having weaponized
the media and civil society in manufacturing popular consent. The
book's arguments are also extended to the current challenges of
imperialism embodied in the rise of the BRICS, post-hegemonic forms
of regional cooperation, and global popular resistance. As such, it
will appeal to scholars of politics and sociology with interests in
globalization, imperialism, capitalism, and global power.
This book provides a political, economic, and sociological
investigation of how neoliberalism shapes 'working class
capacities,' or the power of the working class to organize and
struggle for its collective interests. Efe Can Gurcan and Berk Mete
discuss the global importance of the labor question as it pertains
to Turkey. They apply the main theoretical framework of the
combined and uneven development of class capacities to Turkish
trade unionism. They also address Turkey's recent history of
neoliberalization and its repercussions for class capacities, as
mediated by national regulations, conservative unionism, and
Islamic social assistance networks. Finally, the authors explore
how neoliberalism generates intra-class fragmentation through
public regulatory mechanisms and cultural differentiation in the
sphere of social unionism.
