The “Civic” Road to Secession
Civic nationalism is a weak vessel for secession. Nonetheless, contemporary Scottish nationalism has proven unusually successful, using the characteristically civic marker of political ideology as its signature boundary mechanism. Because a civic form of nationalism funnels toward civic markers of national identity, nationalist elites define Scotland as social democratic and England as neoliberal. This symbolic cultivation of a Scottish social de…
Killing the Goose That Lays the Golden Egg
It's a commonplace that Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke draws his policies from Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz's A Monetary History of the United States ( MH). With that in mind, this article establishes five points. First, contrary to conventional wisdom, Friedman and Schwartz merely insinuate their claim the Fed caused the Depression in MH. Second, their criticisms of Fed policy during the Depression, which turn on its refusal to adopt…
Imagine There’s No Countries
It is exciting to receive a new book from Doreen Massey, 1998 winner of the Prix Vautrin Lud (aka the “Nobel Prize for Geography”) and one of the most prominent radical geographers writing today. Her latest monograph, World City, is an important intervention into the rich literature on globalization and cities, a dimension of global social relations to which International Relations scholars would do well to pay much greater attention. Although Ma…
The Siren Song of Geopolitics
In the wake of the Iraq war, traditional geopolitical analysis has come to dominate left accounts of contemporary world politics. Such accounts fail a basic empirical test as well as introduce negative theoretical developments which threaten to reinforce outmoded realist assumptions about the international system and well as dilute class analysis and potentially water down Marxism into realism with a veneer of moral critique. This article seeks t…
Teaching Political Economy in Political Science
Prior to the 1970s, political science for the most part happily ignored questions of production, exchange, consumption, and investment. The new prominence of Marxist and neo-Marxist scholarship in that decade as well as the transformation of many institutions, trends and premises of the post-World War II order (including the collapse of Bretton Woods, the rise of OPEC and Third World liberation movements, the advent of détente, and the first glob…
The Local Politics of 'Going Global
Minneapolis-St Paul is a good candidate for 'world city' status. The metropolitan area ranks 15th in the US in population; ranks 8th in total exports; hosts the headquarters of some of the largest transnational corporations in the world including 3M, General Mills, Target and Cargill; is home to the largest Somali and Hmong populations in the US; and has hosted major global spectacles such as the International Special Olympics and the Super Bowl.…
World cities as hegemonic projects
Re-scaling IPE
Over the past 30 years, subnational states have become significant global economic actors, yet they remain unincorporated into the main body of IPE research. This is largely because their relevance has been sought in the narrowly defined local economic milieu, when instead their real significance lies in their emergence as sites of regulation of the global political economy. In particular, through efforts to attract transnational corporate invest…
Sovereignty, survival and the Westphalian blind alley in International Relations
That states are sovereign units interacting under conditions of anarchy has long been the core assumption of the discipline of International Relations. Operating largely with an anthropomorphic conceptualization of the state, 'statists' create a stunted ontology of the international system dominated by the concepts of state survival and an assumed state survival interest. By constituting sharp lines of demarcation between being and non-being, bet…
