Transnational Classes and International Relations

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

More specifically, the author develops an understanding of class by discussing such notions as the imagined-community nature of class, Vergesellschaftung (socialisation), fractions of capital, comprehensive concepts of control, the Lockean heartland versus the Hobbesian contender states and the cadre stratum as a lever of socio-political transformation. With its breadth of scope and thorough examination of the agents actively involved in the process of globalisation, this study offers researchers and advanced students, in addition to its own findings, a treasure trove of research hypotheses.

An exciting and original analysis of the development of capitalist classes, such as the Freemasons, that cross national boundaries in the global political economy. This innovative book focuses on: * an historical perspective on class formation under capitalism and its transnational integration * international relations between the English-speaking centre of capital and successive contender states. The author develops a broad-ranging and thorough understanding of class in the process of globalization. He does so within several theoretical frameworks shedding much light on this important topic.
