Trade ReviewEndorsements for the previous edition:
'This impressive volume is a three-part critical analysis of the interactive dynamics involved in the 'new world order' characterized by conditions of intensified globalization. Using a critical historical materialist (Gramscian, and neo-Marxist) framework, Gill combines bottom-up and top-down approaches to understanding political economy while underscoring the ethical issues involved in the social relations that make up the new world order. Summing Up: Highly recommended.' - Choice
