Produktinformationen zu „Power in the Global Age (ePub)“
This brilliant new book by one of Europe's leading social thinkers
throws light on the global power games being played out between
global business, nation states and movements rooted in civil
society. Beck offers an illuminating account of the changing nature
of power in the global age and assesses the influence of the
ever-expanding counter-powers.
The author puts forward the provocative thesis that in an age of
global crises and risks, a politics of "golden handcuffs" - the
creation of a dense network of transnational interdependencies - is
exactly what is needed in order to regain national autonomy, not
least in relation to a highly mobile world economy. It is
imperative that the maxim of nation-based realpolitik - that
national interests have necessarily to be pursued by national means
- be replaced by the maxim of cosmopolitan realpolitik. The more
cosmopolitan our political structures and activities, Beck
suggests, the more successful they will be in promoting national
interests, and the greater our individual power in this global age
will be.
