First sentence: This introductory chapter is written partly at the request of the several colleagues and students who prompted me to produce this book.
Description: "This 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."--BOOK JACKET.
