Political Spaces and Global War by Carlo Galli

Political Spaces and Global War by Carlo Galli

A disquieting genealogy of globalization by a major contemporary thinker.

"Carlo Galli’s Political Spaces and Global War offers an extremely valuable analysis of globalization: its opportunities, its risks, and its antinomiesGalli adopts a historical and conceptual approach to explore the complex relationship between globalization and the political categories of modernity, and arrives at a deeply troubling conclusion about the fate of Western civilization." —Roberto Esposito, author of Bios

"Once in a while, a thinker comes along and poses the familiar questions of political theory in a startling new way. Carlo Galli does just that. He relentlessly tracks the political reproduction of space in politics and political theory to show how the modern quest for freedom, equality, democracy, sovereignty, universality and more all turn on a politics of space now effaced by the global war, which despatializes and deinstitutionalizes politics, losing the difference between sky, land, and sea and bringing traditional theaters together “in a war without strategy or frontier.” With this English translation, new readers will discover Galli’s unique voice, illuminated by Adam Sitze, whose useful introduction sets Galli’s work in the context of post 1968 Italian politics and theory." —Bonnie Honig, author of Emergency Politics: Paradox, Law, Democracy
