Description

Explore how technological acceleration reshapes global politics in this Routledge analysis of modern speed. The world moves faster than ever before, driven by revolutionary advances in communication, transportation and information processing. Yet this acceleration remains deeply contested: will it create a more interconnected and peaceful world, or accelerate ecological collapse, economic exploitation and violent conflict? The Politics of Speed maps the contours of contemporary global space, examining how velocity transforms capitalism, state power and warfare. This intervention probes the political implications of speed across economics, technology and international relations, offering critical perspective on whether faster systems serve humanity or hasten crisis. Essential reading for understanding how acceleration shapes the future of politics and power in the 21st century.
