Volume five in the Democratic Marxism series, BRICS and the New American Imperialism challenges the mainstream understanding of BRICS and US dominance to situate the new global rivalries engulfing capitalism. It offers novel analyses of BRICS in the context of increasing US induced imperial chaos, deepening environmental crisis tendencies (such as climate change and water scarcity), contradictory dynamics inside BRICS countries and growing subaltern resistance. The authors revisit contemporary thinking on imperialism and anti-imperialism, drawing on the work of Rosa Luxemburg, one of the leading theorists after Marx, who attempted to understand the expansionary nature of capitalism from the heartlands to the peripheries. The richness of Luxemburg?s pioneering work inspires most of the volume?s contributors in their analyses of the dangerous contradictions of the contemporary world as well as forms of democratic agency advancing resistance. While various forms of resistance are highlighted, among them water protests, mass worker strikes, anti-corporate campaigning and forms of cultural critique, this volume grapples with the challenge of renewing anti-imperialism beyond the NGO-driven World Social Forum and considers the prospects of a new horizontal political vessel to build global convergence. It also explores the prospects of a Fifth International of Peoples and Workers." 606 $aPolitics & government$2bicssc 606 $aInternational relations$2bicssc 615 7$aPolitics & government 615 7$aInternational relations 700 $aSatgar $b Vishwas$4aut$0898047 702 $aAdam $b Ferrial$4aut 702 $aAmin$b Samir$4aut 702 $aBond $b Patrick$4aut 702 $aCarroll$b William K$4aut 702 $aChase-Dunn$b Christopher$4aut 702 $aGallas$b Alexander$4aut 702 $aGarcia$b Ana$c(Economist)$4aut 702 $aKato $b Karina$4aut 702 $aMajumdar$b Nivedita$4aut 702 $aSeipato $b Keamogetswe$4aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910377813303321 996 $aBRICS and the New American Imperialism$92184311 997 $aUNINA LEADER 07383nam 2200553 450 001 9910794093203321 005 20230223232247.0 010 $a1-00-333925-5 010 $a1-003-33925-5 010 $a1-000-79190-4 010 $a87-7022-125-1 035 $a(CKB)4100000010237282 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7099491 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7099491 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC30251692 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL30251692 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000010237282 100 $a20230223d2019 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aReducing inequalities towards sustainable development goals $emultilevel approach /$fMedani P.
