| Description: |
Bringing together leading theorists and scholars in contemporary spatial thinking and political economy, this volume presents an unprecedented collection of essays on scale, as well as case studies on the restructuring of our global society. |
| Synopsis: |
Caught in the trap of the nation-state and frozen in postwar bloclogic, critical political economy has been found wanting when it comesto problematizing space and scale. In recent years, however,globalization and the prominence of world cities and regions haveshaken the foundations of contemporary social science and fostered anew interest in the concept of scale.Leviathan Undone? brings together leading theorists ofscale and scholars from a variety of disciplines who develop a newlanguage to discuss scale, space, and topology in critical politicaleconomy. By treating scale as an important form ofspatialization - one that has its own contradictions anddynamics - the contributors bring a new sensibility to bear onclassical and contemporary concerns in political economy, ranging fromthe role of the nation-state to social movement politics and aboriginalself-governance, from environmental concerns to urban development, andfrom public health to child care.Leviathan Undone? treats scale as a core concept for ourtime. It will be of interest to students and scholars of social sciencein general and politics, geography, and political economy inparticular. |
