In contrast to most mainstream accounts, this book examines global economic governance as an integral moment of contemporary capitalism -- presenting a critical insight into its real nature and the interests that it serves. This book begins by asking what has not been discussed in the mainstream debates and why. Drawing on a Marxist perspective, Soederberg explores neglected issues including transnational debt and the increasingly coercive nature of US aid to so-called 'failed states'. Soederberg argues that mainstream understandings fail to engage with the wider contradictions that characterise global capitalism. In consequence, there is no explanation of the changing nature of American empire and capitalist power in the world. Furthermore, Soederberg argues that global governance acts to normalise and legitimise increasingly austere forms of capitalist expansion, which may be regarded as a deepening and broadening of neoliberalism.Critical introductions to world politics.CapitalismDebts, ExternalGlobalizationEconomic aspectsInternational economic relationsNeoliberalismCapitalism.Debts, External.GlobalizationEconomic aspects.International economic relations.Neoliberalism.337Soederberg Susanne1966-880265MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782020903321Global governance in question3806615UNINA
