Transnational Classes and International Relations Summary

Transnational Classes and International Relations by Kees Van der Pijl

An exciting and original analysis of the development of capitalist classes, such as the Freemasons, that cross national boundaries in the global political economy. This innovative book focuses on:
* an historical perspective on class formation under capitalism and its transnational integration
* international relations between the English-speaking centre of capital and successive contender states.
The author develops a broad-ranging and thorough understanding of class in the process of globalization. He does so within several theoretical frameworks shedding much light on this important topic.
