DEMOCRACY IN A GLOBALIZED STATE edited by Cliff Durand and Steve Martinot
|
|
|
|
|
DuRand and Martinot have done an excellent service to this inspiring quest by bringing together distinguished writers especially from the U.S. and Cuba: a fitting challenge to imperialist globalization.” Arnold August, author of Democracy in Cuba and the 1997-98 Elections
"confronts one of the most important political and theoretical problems facing modern society: how the national state can be democratised in an era when transnational corporations rule a global economy...The authors’ approach helps to update national liberation strategies common in the 1950s and 1960s, addressing these questions in the context of globalisation in a creative and radical manner. Engaging with this book is certainly time well spent." Jerry Harris, Race and Class

This book examines how hawks and
neoconservatives in the Republican
Party forged a nexus with powerful
rightwing Catholics that would change
the face of Amerian Catholicism, the
structuring of social policy in the
United States, and the American
agenda in the world.
"Betty Clermont's The Neo Catholics
tracks the links of Republican politics,
big money and Catholic ideologues
with a muckraker's zeal. Even those
who do not share Clermont's every
position will be pulled along by her
relentless scrutiny of how the pro-life
mongering and the endless
money-hunt." JASON BERRY
