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. 410 0$aCritical introductions to world politics. 606 $aCapitalism 606 $aDebts, External 606 $aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aNeoliberalism 615 0$aCapitalism. 615 0$aDebts, External. 615 0$aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aNeoliberalism. 676 $a337 700 $aSoederberg$b Susanne$f1966-$0880265 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810627603321 996 $aGlobal governance in question$93949816 997 $aUNINA
