Om Contemporary Political Agency
Looking beyond categories including civil society, international institutions, international organizations and new social movements this book brings together an interdisciplinary dialogue on what constitutes political agency today. This book explores and critically reflects on the theory and practice of political agency in contemporary global politics, in light of the changing relationship between the state, the market and the society. The contributors authors focus on empirically mapping as well as comparing a range of forms of political agency; exploring their significance for the theory and practice of global politics; and reflect on the tensions and synergies generated by recent efforts to conceptualise them. Demonstrating an innovative approach this book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, sociology, political economy and political theory.
