Book SynopsisFor Western Marxists, what is likely to be most astonishing is the many-sided approach to Marxism displayed throughout this work. This reflects a strong emphasis on cultivating an open Marxism, drawing on different views and debates, and various movement vernaculars, in the continuing world struggle for socialism.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Disorganized Capitalism
Book SynopsisShould the advanced Western democracies, contrary to their prevailing self-image as 'planned' and 'managed', be seen as highly disorganized systems of social power and political authority? If so, what are the symptoms, consequences and possible remedies of these disorganizing tendencies? In this newly translated work, almost all of which has until now been unavailable to English-speaking readers, Claus Offe seeks to provide answers to these questions. Moving beyond the boundaries of both Marxism and other forms of political sociology, he gives particular emphasis to the growth of serious cleavages within the work force (and between the employed and the unemployed), the importance of the 'informal' sector, the severe difficulties faced by trade unions in coping with the present economic crisis, the vulnerability of 'neo-corporatist' mechanisms, and the failures of state policy-making based on either majority rule or bureaucratic administration. In critically examining these and other pr

Polity Press Karl Polanyi
Book SynopsisKarl Polanyi's The Great Transformation is generally acclaimed as being among the most influential works of economic history in the twentieth century, and remains as vital in the current historical conjuncture as it was in his own.Trade Review"This is now the place to turn if one wishes to understand Polanyi's contribution, [which is] put forward with brilliance." John Hall, European Journal of Sociology "A long-overdue comprehensive analysis of the work of Karl Polanyi. Gareth Dale's book strikes a helpful balance between a broadly sympathetic admiration for the man and his writing and careful critical analysis."Times Higher Education "Dale has written a fine book in which his exposition and assessment of Polanyi's life's work is both highly illuminating and thoroughly convincing. It will long remain the standard authority."Marx & Philosophy "A timely, complex, and thought-provoking evaluation of Karl Polanyi's significance in contemporary thought."Sociological Review "This book is a complex and sophisticated analysis of a complex and sophisticated thinker. It is both a fair and detailed exposition of all of Polanyi's writings and a careful evaluation of the major criticisms of Polanyi."Immanuel Wallerstein, Yale University "Gareth Dale's book is the most erudite and theoretically comprehensive account of Polanyi's ideas that I have come across. This is above all an exercise in intertextuality and is a remarkable example of intellectual dialogue." Keith Hart, Goldsmiths, University of London "This book will very likely become the definitive source on Polanyi's ideas and the ensuing debates. Gareth Dale combines a respectful and admiring attitude with unassailable theoretical erudition and clear-headed sobriety. Dale's extensive clarification on Polanyi also stands on its own as a serious contribution to current ideological debates and scholarly controversies regarding the prospects of post capitalist transitions." Georgi Derluguian, Northwestern University "Karl Polanyi's work is attracting ever-increasing interest. Gareth Dale has produced an invaluable guide to his writings, ranging from Political Philosophy to Economic History and Anthropology. It is well-researched and organized with a systematic review and evaluation of critiques, revealing the underlying coherence of Polanyi's world of thought."Kari Polanyi Levitt, McGill UniversityTable of ContentsPreface.

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Great Power Politics in the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Book SynopsisGlenn Diesen is Professor in the faculty of World Economy and International Affairs of the National Research University - Higher School of Economics in Moscow. His latest books are The Decay of Western Civilisation and Resurgence of Russia: Between Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft (2018); Russia's Geoeconomic Strategy for a Greater Eurasia (2017); and EU and NATO relations with Russia: After the collapse of the Soviet Union (2015).Trade ReviewThis book asks some of the big questions of our time, above all the effect of technological change on social order and international relations. This ambitious and original study provides some of the answers, although it argues that we are only at the beginning of a period of fundamental and accelerating change to accustomed patterns of state-society relations, economics, geopolitics and, ultimately on citizenship and political order. Written from a ‘global’ perspective, this erudite and engaging work is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of humanity. * Richard Sakwa, University of Kent, UK *In this thought-provoking book, Glenn Diesen offers a controversial though not completely depressing picture of the future interplay between technological progress and global politics. A challenging vision of how our world is going to change and what we should do manage the changes. * Andrey Kortunov, Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council *Glenn Diesen has accomplished a scholarly work in the classic mode of 'big picture' /'big ideas'. In a return, and I might say a rare success among attempts to return to the base/superstructure explanatory model, Diesen takes on and brings together two large phenomena, namely the revolution in technology and the change in global power relations. In this implicit adaptation of the argument of the revolution in the techniques and therefore the forces of production pressing against the relations of production, Diesen traces the linkage between the scientific-technological ('base') and the global political ('superstructure'). It is a superb work of Political Economy. * Dayan Jayatilleka, Ambassador of Sri Lanka to the Russian Federation *This is an extremely timely and. necessary book. As everyone was caught by surprise by the speed of non-reciprocity (TCP-IP, WWW, Internet of Things in large ecosystems) a new plane of value, away from territory, actualized in under fifty years. The opening phase of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has only just begun, and the main pillars of the world order are already crumbling, as Professor Diesen states. He asks the right questions: Will the great powers need to achieve “technological sovereignty” in the form of self-sufficient technological ecosystems? Will new technologies empower primarily the individual, corporation or state? To what extent will the Fourth Industrial Revolution influence the geoeconomic rivalry between the great powers? Professor Diesen states it is puzzling why international relations devote so little attention to technological innovation when technology is arguably the most important variable in great power politics and geoeconomics. This book is then timely, as the main power zones are waking up; potential regulation of Big Tech in the Unites States, the call for digital sovereignty with Team von der Leyen and the first cracks in the Chinese super well done integration at the lowest level but in a too obsessive compulsive way. If you own the house there is no need to know what all tenants are doing all the time. So all zones are looking for a better balance between centralization and decentralization. Might Russia have a productive and fitting ecosystem to achieve this? * Rob van Kranenburg - Founder of #IoT Council network accelerator *Table of Contents1. Introduction 2.
