Thinking Beyond The State

[The author] observes that while interdependence and interconnection have become characteristic features of our globalized era, there is no indication that a concomitant evolution in thinking about political systems has occurred. The state remains the shield?for both the right and the left?against the turbulent effects of globalization. According to [the author], we live in a geopolitical universe that, in many respects, reproduces alienating logics. [This] book, therefore, is a primer on how to see beyond the state. It is also a testament to anthropology's centrality and importance in any analysis of the global human predicament.--
