Routledge - The Politics of Evasion Book

The Politics of Evasion: A Post-Globalization Dialogue Along the Edge of the State explores the shifting landscape of modern power. As the hope for a post-Cold War era of globalization fades, new tensions emerge between states and corporations. This work examines the rise of national security programs, thickening borders, and the impact of global financial crises on society. Readers will find a deep analysis of contemporary movements and phenomena, including Wikileaks, Anonymous, immigrant rights rallies, and the Occupy movement. The book addresses how neoliberal austerity and student protests signal a transition into a post-globalization era. It questions how policymakers and power-holders in the Global North will navigate these changes as the potential for a permanent war on society grows. This academic text provides a necessary look at the critical juncture facing our world today. It is an essential resource for those studying political economy, international relations, and the evolving relationship between the state and the individual in a rapidly changing global environment.
