Abstract

This collection of essays explores some of the avenues along which the field of comparative drama studies could be reconfigured at the dawn of the twenty-first century. It offers a comparative analysis of theatre across national and linguistic boundaries while simultaneously acknowledging newer trends in ethnic studies. Indeed, the contributors to this critical anthology productively combine traditional comparative literature methodologies with performance approaches and postcolonial perspectives. In this way, they shed new light on the intertextual, multi-ethnic, and cross-cultural dialogues linking theatrical traditions from Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific region. This book's broad scope bears testimony to the fact that transnational studies can fruitfully illuminate the multiple dramatic voices of our increasingly globalized age.

Abstract

Global history is a fast growing area of historical study. With the acceleration of the age of globalization in the twentieth century, we have been able to view the world across national boundaries. From the speed of electronic communications and the coverage of global news to the proliferation of 'ethnic' restaurants, globalization is situated directly in our everyday lives, and affects our perceptions of world events. It also has a major impact on how we should study the history of the world, and this reader shows how that can be put into practice. Drawing together a wide international range of contributors, this ground-breaking work presents an important collection of essays to set globalization in its historical context. Thematic in focus, these essays also draw on perspectives from other disciplines, such as anthropology and development studies. The reader uses global history to view the history of the world through key themes that transcend national boundaries, such as terrorism, the environment, human rights, the information revolution and multinational corporations. 'The Global History' 'Reader' is essential reading for all students with an interest in learning more about this definitive new area of historical study.

Abstract

Quinn Slobodian retrace dans ce livre les chemins parcourus par un groupe d'intellectuels, les « néolibéraux », depuis les cendres de l'empire des Habsbourg jusqu'à la création de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce, montrant que l'objectif qui a accompagné l'émergence du néolibéralisme n'était pas tant la réduction de la taille de l'État ou l'abolition des réglementations que leur redéploiement à l'échelle mondiale. Son récit débute en Autriche dans les années 1920. Les Empires sont en train de se dissoudre et le nationalisme, le socialisme et l'autodétermination démocratique menacent la stabilité du système capitaliste. Face à cette situation, des intellectuels autrichiens en appellent à une nouvelle façon d'organiser le monde. Dans les universités où ils enseignent et auprès des gouvernements qu'ils conseillent, des économistes de renom tels Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig von Mises ou d'autres figures influentes mais moins connues comme Wilhelm Röpke et Michael Heilperin, ne prônent pas le laisser-faire. Ils voient au contraire dans les États et les institutions internationales de possibles instruments pour protéger les marchés contre les effets de la souveraineté nationale, les changements politiques et les turbulences des revendications démocratiques. Une généalogie intellectuelle du néolibéralisme essentielle pour comprendre le monde d'aujourd'hui. --

Abstract

"In Globalization and the Poor Periphery before 1950 Jeffrey Williamson examines globalization through the lens of both the economist and the historian, analyzing its economic impact on industrially lagging poor countries in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Williamson argues that industrialization in the core countries of northwest Europe and their overseas settlements, combined with a worldwide revolution in transportation, created an antiglobal backlash in the periphery, the poorer countries of eastern and southern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America."--Jacket.

Abstract

Neoliberals hate the state. Or do they? In the first intellectual history of neoliberal globalism, Quinn Slobodian follows a group of thinkers from the ashes of the Habsburg Empire to the creation of the World Trade Organization to show that neoliberalism emerged less to shrink government and abolish regulations than to redeploy them at a global level. Slobodian begins in Austria in the 1920s. Empires were dissolving and nationalism, socialism, and democratic self-determination threatened the stability of the global capitalist system. In response, Austrian intellectuals called for a new way of organizing the world. But they and their successors in academia and government, from such famous economists as Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises to influential but lesser-known figures such as Wilhelm Roepke and Michael Heilperin, did not propose a regime of laissez-faire. Rather they used states and global institutions--the League of Nations, the European Court of Justice, the World Trade Organization, and international investment law--to insulate the markets against sovereign states, political change, and turbulent democratic demands for greater equality and social justice. Far from discarding the regulatory state, neoliberals wanted to harness it to their grand project of protecting capitalism on a global scale. It was a project, Slobodian shows, that changed the world, but that was also undermined time and again by the inequality, relentless change, and social injustice that accompanied it.--
