The Politics of Speed

Capitalism, the State and War in an Accelerating World

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Politics of Speed engages with the struggles over speed in diverse issue areas, including democratic governance, warfare, capitalism, globalization, and cosmopolitanism and transnational activism and employs a diverse theoretical canon of both classical and contemporary writers. However, despite this diversity of theoretical and empirical material, what draws them all together is the attempt to understand how politics both shapes, and is shaped by, speed.
