Abstract

"In Wars and Capital, Éric Alliez and Maurizio Lazzarato propose a counter-history of capitalism to recover the reality of the wars that are inflicted on us and denied to us. We experience not the ideal war of philosophers, but wars of class, race, sex, and gender; wars of civilization and the environment; wars of subjectivity that are raging within populations and that constitute the secret motor of liberal governmentality. By naming the enemy (refugees, migrants, Muslims), the new fascisms establish their hegemony on the processes of political subjectivation by reducing them to racist, sexist, and xenophobic slogans, fanning the flames of war among the poor and maintaining the total war philosophy of neoliberalism. Because war and fascism are the repressed elements of post-'68 thought, Alliez and Lazzarato not only read the history of capital through war but also read war itself through the strange revolution of '68, which made possible the passage from war in the singular to a plurality of wars--and from wars to the construction of new war machines against contemporary financialization. It is a question of pushing "'68 thought" beyond its own limits and redirecting it towards a new pragmatics of struggle linked to the continuous war of capital. It is especially important for us to prepare ourselves for the battles we will have to fight if we do not want to be always defeated." -- Back cover.

Abstract

"Extreme poverty is in retreat today across much of the world, but Fragile and Conflict-Affected Situations (FCS) are a stark exception. Not only is extreme poverty rising in economies characterized by conflict and fragility, but poor people in FCS are more likely than the poor elsewhere to experience multiple, overlapping non-monetary deprivations, further diminishing their chances to escape poverty and achieve a better life. And once countries enter conflict, it imposes heavy costs through its negative impact on economic development and welfare that can extend to future generations. The report argues that global efforts to end extreme poverty can only succeed with resolute engagement in FCS economies. It specifically proposes approaches that support evidence -based policy by tackling data deprivation, improving monitoring of country specific risk markers, prioritizing and targeting resources to the places most in need, and developing strategies to more effectively target investments in FCS"--

Abstract

Die Studie analysiert die deutsch-indischen Unternehmensbeziehungen nach 1945 im Spannungsfeld von wirtschaftlichen und politischen Erwartungen. Das unabhängige Indien steht beispielhaft als Bezugspunkt für verschiedene ökonomische und politische Interessen, die sich während der Dekolonisation und im Kalten Krieg bildeten. Die unternehmenshistorische Studie bezieht die bisher weniger berücksichtigte Ebene deutscher Unternehmen ein und zeigt die Erwartungen bei der Markterschließung nach 1945 und den Umgang mit einer strenger regulierten, nationalistisch geprägten Wirtschaft durch deutsche Multinationals, Wirtschaftsverbände und der deutschen Außenwirtschaftspolitik in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren auf.

Abstract

"This volume focuses on the interconnections between the Cold War, technological innovation and globalization. Although the consequences of globalization have received ample attention in both academia and the public discourse, only limited attention has so far been given to the factors that instigated various waves of this process. This holds particularly true for the period following World War II, during which a struggle between the two global blocs fanned not only technological innovations but also their transfer. This volume is dedicated to examining the links between the Cold War and this phase in the history of globalization, a phase that gradually made the world-despite high levels of international tension-more and more inter-related. More specifically, it anchors a very contemporary phenomenon to its historical context and pinpoints how the varied and multi-layered East-West interactions helped to induce and foster the globalization processes. Emphasizing technology and its cross-bloc flows, as well as several levels of actors, including states, private companies, and individuals, this volume reflects an important shift towards "transnationalism" which has occurred in the historiography in the recent years. This book will be of interest to students of Cold War Studies, science and technology studies, and International Relations"--
