ISBN: 9781400077793 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Power and Resistance in the New World Order
ISBN: 9781403903907 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This challenging work develops a radical theory of the new world order to argue that as the globalization of power intensifies, so too do globalized forms of resistance. Stephen Gill explains how the dialectic of power and resistance involves issues of governance, economy and culture. This struggle is reflected in the questions of American supremacy, the power of capital, market civilization and surveillance power. Thus new forms of political agency and collective action are emerging to challenge dominant powers.

Foundations of International Political Economy
ISBN: 9781403913500 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite a burgeoning debate on substantive issues in IPE, little attention has been devoted to its theoretical foundations. In this important new text, Matthew Watson reviews the main current theoretical approaches to IPE and highlights the problems that arise from treating 'states' and 'markets' as separate and contesting units of analysis. Foremost among these problems is the lack of attention given to theorizing the constitution of the individual as both an economic agent and a moral being.
