Description: Property, Power and PoliticsWhy We Need to Rethink the World Power System Author(s): Jean-Philippe Robe Format: Paperback Publisher: Bristol University Press, United Kingdom Imprint: Bristol University Press ISBN-13: 9781529213171, 978-1529213171 Synopsis Globalization is an extraordinary phenomenon affecting virtually everything in our lives. And it is imperative that we understand the operation of economic power in a globalized world if we are to address the most challenging issues our world is facing today, from climate change to world hunger and poverty. This revolutionary work rethinks globalization as a power system feeding from, and in competition with, the state system. Cutting across disciplines of law, politics and economics, it explores how multinational enterprises morphed into world political organisations with global reach and power, but without the corresponding responsibilities. In illuminating how the concentration of property rights within corporations has led to the rejection of democracy as an ineffective system of government and to the rise in inequality, Robe offers a clear pathway to a fairer and more sustainable power system.
