Global MatrixNationalism, Globalism and State-Terrorism\nAuthor(s): Tom Nairn, Paul James\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Pluto Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Pluto Press\nISBN-13: 9780745322902, 978-0745322902\nSynopsis\nGlobalization has brought with it many difficult and contradictory phenomena: violence, deep national insecurities, religious divisions and individual insecurities. This book takes a critical look at three key areas - globalism, nationalism, and state-terror - to confront common mythologies and identify the root causes of the problems we face. \n\nToo many commentators still argue that globalization is predominantly a neo-liberal economic phenomenon; that nation-states are on the way out, and that terror is something that primarily comes from below. Global Matrix exposes the limitations of this argument. \n\nWritten by two leading scholars, this is a lucid study of what place the nation-state has in a globalizing world that will appeal to students across the politic.
