The internationalization of the state versus ‘the causality of the international’
This article offers a critique of the attempt by Rosenberg and Boyle to use the theory of uneven and combined development not only to explain the Brexit referendum vote and Trump’s presidential victory in 2016, but also to reinforce their case for recognizing ‘the causality of the international’ in the field of International Political Economy. The critique advanced here deploys a theorization of the internationalization of capitalist states under…
Erik Olin Wright’s Optimism of the Intellect
Erick Olin Wright’s Real Utopias Project was concerned to establish the intellectual grounds for an open-ended politics that was still inspired by the goal of replacing capitalist systems by socialist ones.Conceived when ‘civil society’ was still all the fashion, its emphasis on the need to concentrate on institution-building in civil society was a testament to what Gramsci had called ‘patience allied with perseverance’. Yet the exemplary cases h…
Capitalist Crises and the State
Capitalist development is a contradictory process prone to structural crises—the genesis, nature, and outcome of which are historically contingent and the resolution of which changes the terrain for the development of future crises. Crises are always historically specific; they occur within particular periods of capitalist development and must be theorized using the tools of historical materialsm in relation to the class and state matrices of tha…
Repensando o Marxismo e o Imperialismo para o século XXI
O império americano, responsável pela reprodução do capitalismo em escala mundial, com forte apoio das classes dominantes estrangeiras, teve seus encargos imperialistas ampliados com a integração de Estados do hemisfério Sul ao sistema capitalista. É nesse contexto que exportações e fluxos de capital vindos da China devem ser compreendidos, não significando reais desafios à hegemonia estadunidense. Como a crise de 2007-8 mostra, os conflitos rele…
A Discussion of Lawrence R. Jacobs and Desmond King's Fed Power
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, political scientists have been paying more careful attention to the role of banking institutions as economic but also political institutions whose financial decisions involve the exercise of power and shape the conditions under which governmental decisions are made. Because the United States is still the world’s preeminent global economic power, the U.S. Federal Reserve looms particularly large in efforts…
The revolution party
État, classes et mondialisation
This paper addresses the alleged contradiction between the international space of accumulation and the national space of states. In particular, it challenges the argument that the internationalization of production directly establishes a transnational capitalist class (TCC) as a coherent and self-conscious social force engaged in the formation of a putative transnational state (TNS). This contention rests on a set of mechanistic understandings of…

Marxist Theory and Strategy
The first three sections of this lecture address the need for better historical-materialist theorisations of capitalist competition, capitalist classes and capitalist states, and in particular the institutional dimensions of these – which is fundamental for understanding why and how capitalism has survived into the twenty-first century. The fourth section addresses historical materialism’s under-theorisation of the institutional dimensions of wor…
American Empire or Empire of Global Capitalism
Political Economy and Political Power
Understanding the role of the American state in the era of neoliberal finance requires a scale of analysis that can identify not only the domestic but also the international role of the informal empire the US established in the middle of the twentieth century for superintending capitalism on a world scale. This article demonstrates that it was not so much neoliberal ideology that broke the old system of financial regulations, as it was the latter…

Rethinking Marxism and Imperialism for the Twenty-first Century
Prelude to the Crisis
This article traces the central role of the American state, led by the Treasury, not only in the spread and deepening of global finance, but also in containing the financial crises to which this gave rise. The first part examines this role in relation to the financial crises abroad in the 1990s. The second part focuses on the Treasury's opting for failure containment over failure prevention amidst the financialization it promoted through the 1990…
Les mythes de la déréglementation néolibérale
Cet article se penche sur le consensus selon lequel la crise financière globale résulterait essentiellement, voir uniquement, d’une entreprise de dérégulation financière. Selon ces interprétations, le rôle traditionnellement joué par l’État dans la régulation de la finance se serait effrité en parallèle à la montée en puissance des institutions financières. Le corolaire de ces analyses est que le retour à une plus grande régulation serait l’avenu…
American Empire, Global Crisis, and the Rise of China
The Integration of China into Global Capitalism
Although the current crisis has amply demonstrated the many challenges and contradictions the American state faces, it has also demonstrated that it nevertheless remains critical to the system's survival. Whereas it was still possible in the 1960s and 1970s to represent the capitalist relationship between the global north and south in terms of “the development of underdevelopment,” by the new millennium there was clearly a very remarkable, if sti…
Crisis of What
This sharp question is appropriately thought-provoking. We certainly have been living through a great capitalist crisis, really only the fourth crisis of such scale after the so-called Great Depression of 1873-96, the more familiar Great Depression of the 1930s, and the global stagflation and profitability crisis of the 1970s. The very fact that capitalism survived these earlier crises should warn us away from reverting to the old mistaken notion…

Giovanni Arrighi in Beijing
Giovanni Arrighi made a remarkably broad-ranging and original contribution to comparative political economy and historical sociology over five decades. His last book shares these qualities. But Adam Smith in Beijing is unfortunately not mainly about the origins and dynamics of Chinese capitalism over the past three decades. It presents Adam Smith not as the apostle of free-market capitalism, but rather of a ‘non-capitalist market society’; and it…

Capitalist Crises and the Crisis this Time
Exactly a hundred and fifty years before the current crisis began in August 2007, the collapse of the Ohio Life Insurance Company in New York triggered what became known as ‘the great crisis of 1857-8’. As Michael Kratke notes, ‘the crisis started exactly as Marx had predicted already in 1850 – with a financial crisis in New York’ and the crisis itself led Marx to extend ‘the scope and scale of his study’ for the Grundrisse notebooks he was worki…
Renewing Socialism
This new edition of RENEWING SOCIALISM adds an in-depth interview to seven key essays. The interview asks: What impact is American imperialism having on left strategies in various parts of the world today? What common interests work for solidarity and against divisions of race, gender and class? As Green parties turn towards market socialism, what space is left for a red-green anti-capitalist coalition? Can new socialist parties avoid mistakes of…
The Development of Corporatism in Liberal Democracies
Making of Global Capitalism
Recent Theorizations of Corporatism
ln contemporary advanced caplta lSt socletles, corporatlsm was employed by a notably limited number of scholars. Only in the 1970S did we witness a veritable explosion of social scientific production which employs the term corporatism in the latter sense. This has occurred to such an extent that it is hardly incorrect to speak of corporatism as a major 'field of study' itself, with a spillover of usage of the term in the media and among political…

Corporatism in Canada
The world of social science is sometimes like the world of bourgeois fashion. Concepts, like clothes, are trendy, and as a particular concept becomes fashionable among social scientists, there is a tendency for some societies to be fitted in conceptual attire which is unsuitable for them, occasionally grotesquely so. This phenomenon is visible today with the current fashionability of the concept of corporatism
The End of Parliamentary Socialism
The State in a Changing World
There are two central developments that define our era. One of these is the historic failure of the socialist project of the mass working-class parties, both Communist and Social Democratic. The other is, of course, what has commonly come to be known as the "globalization" of capitalism. These two developments are certainly related to one another, but they cannot be reduced to one another. Each also has its own specific dynamics which need to be …

Violence as a Tool of Order and Change
September 11, it is said, has changed everything. However true or not this may be—and I tend to think that it is not very true at all—one thing it certainly should have changed is the loose manner in which the adjective "violent" has been appended to recent antiglobalization protests. Especially for a conference such as this one—conceived in the wake of the Quebec City events of last year and designed to shed light on the nature of the challenge …

Towards Permanent Exceptionalism
THIS PAPER ARGUES THAT we are witnessing the end of the era of free collective bargaining which began with the federal government's war-time order-in-council PC 1003. The era being closed is one in which the state and capital relied, more than before World War II, on obtaining the consent of workers generally, and unions in particular, to participate as subordinate actors in Canada's capitalist democracy. The era ahead marks a return, albeit in q…

Myths of Neoliberal Deregulation
Contrary to mainstream diagnoses blaming the current financial crisis on a retreat of the state, Leo Panitch and Martijn Konings trace the active interventions that have shaped US finance and yoked working-class America to the discipline of debt
US Financial Power in Crisis
This essay examines the questions raised by the present financial crisis through an enquiry into the institutional foundations of American finance. We view with some scepticism strong claims concerning the disastrous outcome for the structural dynamism of the global financial system and America's position in it. Many critical political economists tend to take the system of global financial markets as their point of departure and then locate the U…
Capitalist Restructuring and Labour Strategies
One of the most important developments currently taking place in capitalist societies is a restructuring of work, whereby changing processes of production, changing locations of production, changing job definitions and requirements, and changing relations between workers and managers at the point of production are all issuing a profound challenge to long-established patterns of working class organization and representation. In this presentation I…

Social Democracy and Industrial Militiancy
The attempt to establish a 'new social contract' between the Government and the unions, with a view to stabilising the economy and restraining industrial militancy, emerged as a burning issues of contemporary British politics during the 1970s. This study uncovers the roots of this development in the incomes policies of successive post-war Governments, especially of the 1964–70 Labour Government, and traces the way in which wage restraint was secu…

The Canadian State is a powerful collection of essays. Leo Panitch’s theme essay, dealing with the theories of recent neo-Marxist thinkers on the nature and role of the state and sketching their relevance to Canada, sets the tone and interpretation of the whole work, which thus has a rare unity and cohesion.

The Importance of Workers' Control for Revolutionary Change
Workers' control, workers' participation, workers' self-management: the vast array of meanings that have been attached to each of these terms, ranging in substantive content from revolutionary to reformist to corporatist conceptions, bespeaks an ambiguity characteristic not merely of a lack of scholarly consensus with regard to these terms, but more importantly, a lack of common motivation on the part of people who employ them. Often the literatu…

Class and Power in Canada
Canada is a country that resists ready classification within conventional taxonomies. Its status as what might be aptly called a "rich dependency" puts it at the interstices between the advanced industrial countries and the dependent capitalisms of the "third world." In terms of per capita income, patterns of consumption, social structure, and levels of education, as well as form of political regime, Canada clearly resembles the former countries.…

By the crucial test of what it has done for the vast majority of people, the "new conservatism" has been a grievous failure wherever in the advanced capitalist world it has been in power: the most blatant example of that failure is "Thatcherism" in Britain. But Reagan in America has also increased poverty, strengthened the repressive apparatus of the state, encouraged managerial authoritarianism, provided a favorable climate for casino capitalism…
