• Sommario/riassunto: The Political Economy of a Plural World is a new volume by one of the world's leading critical thinkers in international political economy. Building on his seminal contributions to the field, Robert W Cox engages with the major themes that have characterized his work over the past three decades, and also the main topics which affect the globalized world at the start of the twentieth-century. The book addresses such core issues as global civil society, power and knowledge, the covert world, multilateralism, and civilizations and world order. Michael Schechter has written an introductory essay which addresses current critiques of Coxian theory, enabling the author to enter into a stimulating dialogue with critics of his work. Timely, provocative and original, this book is a major contribution to international political economy and essential reading for all students and academics in the field.
