The Globalisation Decade

THE GLOBALISATION DECADE
A Critical Reader

Edited by Leo Panitch & Colin Leys

Over the past decade the contributors to Socialist Register have been widely recognised as providing the most distinctive investigations on the left today of the contradictions of globalisation, the internationalisation of the state, progressive competitiveness, the new imperialism and popular global mobilisations against it.

This anthology provides:

The most searching analyses of the political, economic and cultural contradictions of globalisation available - essential reading for students in troubled times.

The best set of readings on the role of states - and especially the American state - in making globalisation happen, and on the problems they now confront in trying to keep it going.
