The limits to balancing
This article explores the major contribution of Brooks and Wohlforth's World out of balance to debate about the role of American primacy and power in contemporary international affairs. It argues that these authors make a major contribution to our understanding of the present international order but that some key questions about the effectiveness of US primacy remain unaddressed and require different questions and considerations to be debated
Globalization in Question
"'Globalization' is one of the key concepts of our time. It is used by both the right and the left as the cornerstone of their analysis of the international economy and polity. In both political and academic discussions, the assumption is commonly made that the process of economic globalization is well under way and that this represents a qualitatively new stage in the development of international capitalism. But is there in fact such a thing as …
Obama and the prospects for international order
Blood for oil
The United States and the Control of World Oil
To what extent is a drive to appropriate the world's oil a driving force behind American foreign policy? This paper argues that rather than viewing US foreign policy as driven by the expansionary forces of US oil companies seeking new reserves and markets, or by rising concern about levels of import dependence, it is more illuminating to ask how the broader nature of American geopolitics shapes policies towards international oil. The United State…
Reflections on Empire, Imperialism and United States Hegemony
On Gregory Elliott's Perry Anderson
Marxism and Globalisation
This chapter will argue that much of the current discussion of the theme of globalisation suffers from an indeterminate characterisation of the process and that there is a need for a determinate historical and theoretical specification of the global system. Such a specification must be able to account for the particular intensity of modern globalisation as compared with the more general interaction across space that has characterised much of worl…

Revisiting the New World Order
Making sense of structural adjustment
This article looks at the liberal justification for structural adjustment and suggests that it is based on an inadequate understanding of the role of the state in the development process. The liberal focus on ‘policy’ mistakes is questioned by looking to deeper processes of state formation as the key to different development trajectories. In the light of these general considerations, the article looks at the findings of some recent assessments of…

Adjustment in Egypt? The political economy of reform
This article examines the nature of structural adjustment in Egypt. It situates the policies of the International Financial Institutions within the context of Egypt's economic and political crisis and the efficacy of their policies of liberalisation in agriculture and for economic growth. The IFIs are promoting policies for rolling back the state but they are not addressing issues of ‘good governance’ and democratisation. It is tempting to conclu…
Rethinking Middle East Politics
Rethinking Middle East Politics considers a range of debates on the character of political and socioeconomic development in the Middle East, focusing on the linked processes of state formation and capitalist development. Simon Bromley seeks to reformulate the central questions involved in the study of state formation. He builds a comparative framework based on an examination of key developmental processes in Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and…

The Politics of Postmodernism
The claims currently being made on behalf of post modernism are nothing if not diverse everything from architecture through formal theoretical developments to the organisation of the economy is now said to be post-modernist. Strange perhaps, then, that outside of the aesthetic sphere we heard so little, relatively speaking, about modernism. Still the very diversity of the arguments in its favour suggest that ‘postmodernism’ denotes something more…
Farewell to Thatcherism? Neo-Liberalism and 'New Times
There can be no doubt that the Thatcher government over the last year or so has encountered a crisis of public confidence: some even believe the end of Thatcherism is nigh. Signs of impending doom were already discerned in June 1989 when the Conservative party suffered its first
From an institution to a business'? Changes in the British coal industry 1985-9
This paper seeks to explore the main changes in the nationalized British coal industry in the period following the national strike of March 1984 to March 1985, against the backgrounds of a specific interpretation of this strike and its outcome and a view of general developments in the energy sector. The post-strike restructuring is examined with respect to changes in capital structure, the organization of labour-power and surplus extraction, and …
The Free Economy and the Strong State. The Politics of Thatcherism
After Exterminism
The signing of an inf Treaty at the Washington Summit of December 1987 has brought to a symbolic (if illusory) close a dramatic episode in postwar history. It will not, it seems, mark a decisive reversal in the nuclear arms race. Compensatory adjustments, on the nato
Popular Capitalism, Flexible Accumulation and Left Strategy
Three years ago we presented an anatomy of Thatcherism, but today we are witnessing Mrs Thatcher’s vivisection of the Left. Her third successive general election victory has intensified the crisis in the labour movement and is likely to precipitate both a merger and a split in the Alliance
Thatcherism and the Politics of Hegemony
We are glad that Stuart Hall regards our article in nlr 147 as a significant contribution to contemporary debates on Thatcherism. In that article we examined his work on authoritarian populism (hereafter ‘AP’), sketched an alternative approach to Thatcherism in terms of its two-nations effects, and outlined

Authoritarian Populism, Two Nations, and Thatcherism
Faced with the devastating electoral and political successes of Thatcherism in the past five years, the British Left responded in various ways. Some activists anticipated the imminent collapse of Thatcherism due to a sudden upsurge of union militancy, popular disturbances, or urban riots; or due to a Conservative
