Global society has been analyzed in any number of ways: books dealing with its economic and cultural implications flood the market. But Planetary Politics highlights something unique. It explores globalization with an eye on the transformation of politics into a planetary enterprise. Unifying this collection is a political purpose: the attempt to engage in progressive fashion the dominant trends, the terrible excesses, and the positive prospects in a decidedly new era marked by the transition from a corrosive interplay between nation-states to a burgeoning planetary politics. Bringing together the work of major scholars with national and international reputations, this exciting new work offers perspectives for dealing with the complexity of power in the planetary life of the new millennium.
An important volume for both scholars and practitioners alike. * Political Studies Review *
[This book] presents an accessible and interesting group of essays that meets the Logos series' aim of communicating bold ideas that appeal to a wide audience. One of the strengths of this collection is that Bronner has compiled a selection of essays written by authors from diverse academic backgrounds; this helps to communicate the message that the political, economic, and cultural cannot be considered apart from one another, and to bring a variety of perspectives to bear on globalization. . . . The collection offers highly accessible reflections on contemporary political issues. * International Affairs *
