While multipolarity is beginning to be recognized as game-changing, it remains poorly understood. Just when, by increasing the role of states in capitalism to even higher levels than ever before, multipolarity is radically modifying the dynamics of capitalism, just when the promise of restricting, modifying and even ending it is held out by neoliberal capitalism’s ongoing debility, and just when social forces are beginning to give battle to neoliberal austerity, too much scholarship ignores states’ centrality of capitalist economies and assumes that free market capitalism is the world’s natural or end state.

This book series promotes fresh inter- and multi-disciplinary perspectives on the most pressing new realities of the 21st century: the multipolar world and the renewed economic centrality of states in it. While multipolarity is beginning to be recognized as game-changing, it remains poorly understood. Just when, by increasing the role of states in capitalism to even higher levels than ever before, multipolarity is radically modifying the dynamics of capitalism, just when the promise of restricting, modifying and even ending it is held out by neoliberal capitalism’s ongoing debility, and just when social forces are beginning to give battle to neoliberal austerity, too much scholarship ignores states’ centrality of capitalist economies and assumes that free market capitalism is the world’s natural or end state.

From a range of disciplines, works in Geopolitical Economy will account for these new realities historically. They will explore the problems and contradictions, domestic and international, generated by the predominantly capitalist organisation of the world and so many of its societies. They will reconstruct how states’ actions in response have modified capitalism. They will reconstruct the struggles of classes and nations that have shaped them. They will track the growth of public and de-commodified spheres these dialectical interactions have given rise to. And they will map the new terrain on which political forces must now act to orient national and the international economies in equitable and ecological, cultural and creative.
