This timely book will explain, via a number of thematic and case
studies, that international economics is not an independent terrain
of economic activity reproducing itself throughout history, but a
complex articulation of social, political and culturally determined
actions that are inextricably linked. Chapters will address the
role of dominant global powers in the making of global industrial
and monetary relations, and, in particular, ways in which, and the
degrees to which dominant economic and military powers, such as the
USA, tend to shape the domestic economic environments of lesser
powers after their own image. Supplementing the chapters will be a
comprehensive A - Z glossary section, which will include key
International Political Economy terms, e.g. international debt,
European free trade area, International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development, IMF, GATT-WTO, Foreign exchange, fixed exchange rates,
floating exchange rates, reserve currency, gold-dollar parity,
multinational corporation, preferential trade agreement, hedge
funds, etc. Entries will be cross-referenced for ease of use. This
book will be ideal for researchers and students in the areas of
politics, international relations and international economics, as
well as for academics, economists, business people, and those with
an interest in the workings of international political economy.
Language is never just a means of communication. It terrorizes.
And, especially in times of war, it has the ability to target
civilians and generate fear as a means of producing specific
political outcomes, most notably the passive and active acceptance
of state violence itself. For this reason, the critical examination
of language must be a central part of any effort to fight
imperialism, militarism, demagoguery, racism, sexism, and other
structures of injustice. Globalizing Collateral Language examines
the discourse surrounding 9/11 and its entrenchment in global
politics and culture. To interrogate this wartime lexicon of
"collateral language," editors John Collins and Somdeep Sen have
assembled a volume of critical essays that explores the long shadow
of America's "War on Terror" discourse. They illuminate how this
language has now found resonance across the globe and in political
projects that have little to do with the "War on Terror." Two
decades after the attacks of September 11, 2001, this book calls on
us to resist the tyranny of collateral language at a time when the
need for such interventions in the public sphere is more urgent
than ever.
