Despite criticisms that are frequently levelled against the hugely popular James Bond books by Ian Fleming, accusing them of homophobia, misogyny and casual racism, Bond, argues this article, remains a global cultural icon and Fleming’s fictional work continues to remain relevant in the realm of contemporary international affairs. The article explores the question of how the emphasis in the Bond literature and movies on transnational actors, and their clash with the global economy and nation states, remain both relevant and compelling plot lines in today’s world
