abstract   bibtex   
In discussions of world politics, it is not uncommon for Marxism to be dismissed out of hand as being preoccupied with economics rather than politics, and concerning itself with domestic rather than international social relations. In this chapter \textbar will suggest to the contrary that Marxist theory aims at a critical understanding of capitalism as an historically particular way of organizing social life, and that this form of social organization entails political, cultural, and economic aspects which need to be understood as a dynamic ensemble of social relations not necessarily contained within the territorial boundaries of nation-states. Viewed in this way, Marxism can yield insights into the complex social relationships on scales from the workplace and the household to the global through which human beings produce and reproduce their social relations, the natural world, and themselves. The case-study section delves deeper into the insights that can be gained from Marxism in understanding the so-called War on Terror'.
