PLTC 307 - Historical Capitalism,Hegemonic Transitions

Institution:

Bates College

Subject:

Description:

This seminar considers three long-term global dynamics. The first is the endless accumulation of capital on a world scale. The second is war-making and state-making in the nation-state system. World hegemonic systems combine these two dynamics to produce order in the world-system. The counter-movements-workers' movements, anti-colonial struggles, and other movements for the protection of society-represent a third long-term dynamic that undermines hegemonic orders to produce crises of transition. Students evaluate some of the key dimensions of the current systemic transition to suggest possible political futures in the new century. Enrollment limited to 15. One-time offering. G. Trichur.
