C/P/70. Compare and contrast two of the approaches to state theory covered in this course. Which provides the better analysis of the contemporary era? Marxism versus the neo-liberal hegemony

This work looks at the globalization thesis, comparing and contrasting the dominant world view of globalization - which is neo-liberal and, overall, positive - with that of globalization viewed from a Marxist perspective. The work promotes the view that globalization cannot be theorized adequately in either the currently-dominant, neo-liberal view or that of the classical-Marxist perspective. Instead, both need to be "freed up": neo-liberalism needs to give way to a pluralistic outlook; classical Marxism needs to be adapted with the help of more recent, neo-Marxist, perspectives. Globalization is highly complex and full of contradictions. The underpinning suggestion is that the debate about globalization should move out of a modernist, and into a neo-modernist, mode. In this way, opportunities for resistance to globalization may best be realised and exploited.
