Abstract

The French scholar Marc Abélès is one of the leading political and philosophical anthropologists of our time. He is perhaps the leading anthropologist writing on the state and globalization. Thinking beyond the State, a distillation of his work to date, is a superb introduction to his contributions to both anthropology and political philosophy. Abélès observes that while interdependence and interconnection have become characteristic features of our globalized era, there is no indication that a concomitant evolution in thinking about political systems has occurred. The state remains the shield-for both the Right and the Left-against the turbulent effects of globalization. According to Abélès, we live in a geopolitical universe that, in many respects, reproduces alienating logics. His book, therefore, is a primer on how to see beyond the state. It is also a testament to anthropology's centrality and importance in any analysis of the global human predicament. Thinking beyond the State will find wide application in anthropology, political science and philosophy courses dealing with the state and globalization.

Abstract

Die europäischen Konservativen des 19. Jahrhunderts hätten sie sich ungern als Reaktionäre, Rückwärtsgewandte oder Unverbesserliche bezeichnet. Obwohl die offene Unterdrückung der politischen Gegner eine praktikable Option blieb, tendierten sogar die unerbittlichsten Verfechter des Status quo dazu, ihre politischen Ziele zu popularisieren. Auch reformbereite Konservative sahen sich vor einer delikaten Herausforderung: Wie ließen sich Modernisierungsmaßnahmen realisieren, ohne die eigene Machtbasis zu untergraben? Die Studie untersucht die umfassende Dynamisierung des konservativen Diskurses, die schließlich zur spektakulären und halbgewollten Durchsetzung der Nationalstaatsidee in Deutschland und Italien führte. In the Age of Revolution, European conservatives confronted an ongoing challenge: How could they fulfill their dreams for a nation state without destabilizing existing power relations? The study investigates the transformation of conservative political discourse during the 19th century, which culminated in the implementation of the nation-state ideal in Germany and Italy.

Abstract

Globalization has reconfigured both the external institutional framework and the intrinsic operating mechanisms of capitalism. The global triumph of capitalism implies the embracing of the market by the state in all its variants, and that global capitalism is not confined to the shell of nation-state democracy. Guoguang Wu provides a theoretical framework of global capitalism for specialists in political economy, political science, economics and international relations, for graduate and undergraduate courses on globalization, capitalism, development and democracy, as well as for the public who are interested in globalization. Wu examines the new institutional features of global capitalism and how they reframe movements of capital, labor and consumption. He explores how globalization has created a chain of connection in which capital depends on effective authoritarianism, while democracy depends on capital. Ultimately, he argues that the emerging state-market nexus has fundamentally shaken the existing institutional systems, harming democracy in the process.

Abstract

"Organised as an experiment testing the hypothesis, formulated in the Introduction, that behind the hottest political issues of the quarter-century after the Cold War lies globalisation of national consciousness, this collection of essays unites authors from the four corners of the world. They focus on democratisation and its failure in Russia, transformations of identity in Eastern and Western Europe, Africa, North and South America, and South-East Asia, the rise of militant and political Islam, and the eruption of China onto the world stage. Collectively, the volume makes the argument that globalisation we are witnessing is, for the most part, the globalisation of competitive and antagonistic nationalism, which spreads to areas where it was not known earlier and into the sphere of religion, ostensibly indifferent to it, proving that nationalism remains the organising principle of politics inside nations as well as at transnational and international levels."--Back cover
