This ambitious book rewrites the terms of debate about globalization. Focusing on two major new concepts-the unfinished global-democratic revolution and the global-Western state-Martin Shaw evaluates global change, considering the radical implications for social, political and international theory, and offering a fundamental critique of modern social thought and mainstream global theory. Required reading for sociology, politics and international relations, Theory of the Global State offers a historical, theoretical and political framework for understanding state and society in the emerging global age. | Theory Of The Global State by Martin Shaw, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
