This challenging work develops a radical theory of the new world order to argue that as the globalization of power intensifies, so too do globalized forms of resistance. Stephen Gill explains this dialectic of power and resistance involving governance, political economy and civilization with reference to struggles as far-reaching as US supremacy, the power of capital, market civilization, new constitutionalism, neo-liberalism and disciplinary and surveillance power. Because of increasing inequality, massive social dislocations, cultural conflict and economic crisis associated with disciplinary neo-liberalism and market civilization, challenges from left and right to capitalist globalization have become manifest. The politics of globalization will hinge upon the balance of forces between the old and the new, between dominant and subordinate power and thus with challenges associated with new forms of political agency linked to 'transformative resistance'.

Review:
'This impressive volume is a three-part critical analysis of the interactive dynamics involved in the 'new world order' characterized by conditions of intensified globalization. Using a critical historical materialist (Gramscian, and neo-Marxist) framework, Gill combines bottom-up and top-down approaches to understanding political economy while underscoring the ethical issues involved in the social relations that make up the new world order. Summing Up: Highly recommended.' - Choice
