L'Histoire économique globale
L'histoire économique n'est pas d'abord celle de l'Europe. La genèse de l'économie moderne est aussi orientale, comme le montre, bien avant notre Renaissance, la circulation afro-eurasienne des biens, des hommes et des techniques. Ce livre analyse des réseaux commerciaux asiatiques plurimillénaires, la technicité financière du monde musulman entre VIIIème et XIème siècle, le poids récurrent d'une Chine qui, la première, conçut à peu près toutes les techniques productives de base. Il cherche à comprendre les institutions de ces premiers échanges globaux, notamment les diasporas qui, après l'effondrement de l'empire romain, continuent d'animer les faibles échanges intra-euro...
Spirits and Ships
This volume seeks to foreground a “borderless” history and geography of South, Southeast, and East Asian littoral zones that would be maritime-focused, and thereby explore the ancient connections and dynamics of interaction that favoured the encounters among the cultures found throughout the region stretching from the Indian Ocean littorals to the Western Pacific, from the early historical period to the present. Transcending the artificial boundaries of macro-regions and nation-states, and trying to bridge the arbitrary divide between (inherently cosmopolitan) “high” cultures (e.g. Sanskritic, Sinitic, or Islamicate) and “local” or “indigenous” cultures, this multidisciplinar...

Who Owes Who
Using 50 questions and answers, this book explains the debt impasse for developing countries in a simple but precise manner. It details the roles of the various actors involved, the mesh in which indebted countries are caught, the possible scenarios for getting out of the impasse, and the various alternatives to future indebtedness. It also sets out the various arguments - moral, political, economic, legal and environmental - on which the case for a wholesale cancellation of developing countries‘ external debt rests. It replies to the range of possible objections and proposes new ways of financing development at both local and international level.
Property, Power and Politics
Globalization is an extraordinary phenomenon affecting virtually everything in our lives. And it is imperative that we understand the operation of economic power in a globalized world if we are to address the most challenging issues our world is facing today, from climate change to world hunger and poverty. This revolutionary work rethinks globalization as a power system feeding from, and in competition with, the state system. Cutting across disciplines of law, politics and economics, it explores how multinational enterprises morphed into world political organisations with global reach and power, but without the corresponding responsibilities. In illuminating how the concentration of property rights within corporations has led to the rejection of democracy as an ineffective system of government and to the rise in inequality, Robé offers a clear pathway to a fairer and more sustainable power system.
L'Invention du marché. Une histoire économique de la mondialisation
On pense souvent la mondialisation comme un nouvel ordre du monde qui verrait les États céder le pouvoir aux forces du marché. De la première mondialisation reconnue (fin du XIXe siècle) à la réalité contemporaine des firmes transnationales, de la globalisation financière et des régulations supranationales, c'est la libéralisation des échanges qui s'imposerait. On ne peut pourtant identifier la mondialisation à la victoire planétaire, soudaine et programmée du libéralisme. Elle est d'abord l'aboutissement provisoire d'une synergie historique de longue durée entre expansion géographique des échanges et progrès de la régulation marchande. Aujourd'hui réunis, ces deux proc...

Western Supremacy
Sophie Bessis book gives a thorough history of colonial and developmentalist thought. Bessis tells the story of the West's relationship with those parts of the rest of the world it came to dominate. Bessis follows this trajectory, from the conquest of the Americas, through the slave trade and the scramble for Africa, the White Man's burden, Manifest Destiny and the growth of "scientific" racism, on to decolonization, the ideology of development, and structural adjustment.
What Is Global History?
The first comprehensive overview of the innovative new discipline of global history Until very recently, historians have looked at the past with the tools of the nineteenth century. But globalization has fundamentally altered our ways of knowing, and it is no longer possible to study nations in isolation or to understand world history as emanating from the West. This book reveals why the discipline of global history has emerged as the most dynamic and innovative field in history—one that takes the connectedness of the world as its point of departure, and that poses a fundamental challenge to the premises and methods of history as we know it. What Is Global History? provides a comprehensive...
Prisoners of the American Dream
Mike Davis's brilliant exegesis attempts to answer the question: Why has the world's most industrially advanced nation never spawned a mass party of the working class?
