Reveals how the traditional theoretical frameworks of international relations, with their emphasis on bi-polar politics and great-power relations, are themselves implicated in the power structure they claim to describe with disinterest. The authors suggest that these old models say little about today's world, not purely because things have changed, but because new realities from Bosnia and NAFTA have exposed their inadequacies. These essays are concerned with the growing global instabilities that are putting pressure on the bordered world of states and with the increasing "postnational mobilizations" that result. The authors then explore modes of political expression and action that challenge this framework, and that recognize the inherently political nature of any analysis of global politics.
