Summary
Summary
This book brings together internationally-distinguished scholars from History, Philosophy, Development Studies, Geography, and International Relations (IR) to examine recent developments in Marxist approaches to world politics.
Offering original and stimulating analyses of subjects traditionally at the forefront of Marxist studies of world politics, the collection also considers issues which have yet to be fully explored within a number of disciplines. Examining a wide array of topics ranging from the imperialism-globalization debate, the connections between social structures and foreign relations, the role of identity and imperialist norms in world politics, to the relationship between Marxist and Realist IR Theory, the contributors seek to further theoretical discussions and their implications for emancipatory radical politics. These contributions are structured around two major themes:
* The relationship between capitalist modernity and the states-system in explaining the changing patterns of inter-state conflict and cooperation;
* The debates within Marxist and IR discourses on the theoretical significance of 'the international', covering topics including uneven and combined development and passive revolution.
An impressive collection that seeks to advance dialogue and research, Marxism and World Politics will be of interest to students and scholars of IR, International Political Economy, Political Science, and Historical Sociology.
Summary
La palabra alemana actual para viaje «Reise», significaba en alemán medieval expedición guerrera. De ésta nota etimológica se pueden extraer ideas para lanzar una ojeada a dos fenómenos muy dispares; la guerra como viaje hacia el terreno enemigo o el espacio para conquistar, así como los viajes forzosos en las poblaciones afectadas, los exilios. Esta edición recopila las actas del Congreso Internacional Guerra y Viaje. Una constante Histórico-literaria entre España y Alemania, celebrado en el MuVIM en 2008. Se trata de catorce trabajos centrados en las relaciones culturales hispano-alemanas, desde la Edad Media hasta el siglo XX. Literatura de viajes y viajes en la literatura vistos desde la óptica alemana. Visiones realistas, románticas, focalizaciones en la memoria cultural, extractos de la memoria colectiva, saltos zigzagueantes y correlacionados entre pasado y presente.
