Globalization, Critique and Social Theory: Diagnoses and Challenges by Harry F. Dahms (Editor)
Requirements: ePUB or MOBI Reader, 1.2MB
Overview: In recent years, under the impression and the burden of globalization and neoliberalism, debates about the relationship between the theory and practice of progress – including the theory and practice of social critique – have gone through an unexpected and momentous revival, renewal and rejuvenation.
This is due in large part to the proliferation of manifest crises in the early years of the twenty-first century. The terrorist attacks in September of 2001, the financial crisis of 2008 that spawned the Great Recession, the Euro crisis that began in fall 2010 – these events provided glimpses of the existing system of political economy, and opportunities to begin to grasp and reveal the ongoing reconstruction of business-labor-government relations in the early 21st century.
Yet, in a variety of ways, the notions that theories and practices of rigorous social critique in and of modern societies could become outdated, or that they were based on a categorical misunderstanding of the nature of social, economic, political and cultural life in the modern world, were symptomatic of an ongoing reconfiguration of the system of political economy itself.
