This collection brings together an unusually distinguished and
diverse group of theorists of global politics, political geography,
and international political economy who reflect on the concept of
political space. Already familiar to political geographers, the
concept of political space has lately received increased attention,
arising out of the need for new ways of thinking about and
describing the actors, structures, and processes that shape
politics and patterns of governance in today's complex, post-Cold
War world. The essays explore the frontiers of the field of global
politics, and each deals imaginatively with some aspect of
political space.
This collection makes a valuable theoretical and empirical
contribution to the study of Political Economy. The book covers a
wide range of approaches currently in vogue, coupled with an
exploration of areas in commonality, thus rendering it a more
effective introduction to Political Economy than many of the
purpose written, but highly partial, existing texts. The individual
papers, while summarizing the established literature in each field,
also contribute much that is new and of considerable value to the
further development of the subject.
Globalisation and Interdependence in the International Political
Economy addresses central developments within the contemporary
international system. The notions of interdependence and
globalisation that have accompanied the political discourse of 'a
new world disorder' are replete with definitional ambiguities,
theoretical difficulties and empirical complexities. Barry Jones
offers a critical review and analysis of these concepts, their
significance and place within the wider debates of international
political economy. He argues that contemporary conditions are
complex, with regionalising tendencies cross-cutting those of
increasing globalisation, and 'national' impulses surviving even in
the face of powerful 'internationalising' forces. Future
developments, it is concluded, may also be far more uncertain and
turbulent than is widely anticipated. Written by a leading
authority, this volume is an effective and compelling introduction
to the complex study of international political economy.
