Globalisation, Hegemony and Perspective

Abstract: type="main">

Globalisation has been treated as a homogenising, even Americanising, process. Its complex nature means that its effects can be observed at various levels of analysis: economic, political, social, cultural and legal. The books under review here tackle different aspects of globalisation, with the overarching theme of US hegemony and how that has been employed in the reconfiguration of the global order. Two titles deal specifically with British decline, albeit without a perspective informed by political economy, the absence of which is argued to weaken their respective analyses. The analytical purchase provided by Marxist political economy is also highlighted.
