"The Three Fields of Global Political Economy provides a systematic and future-oriented account of global political economy dynamics since the industrial revolution and argues that major changes and conflicting processes can be understood through the concept of these three fields. The first field is constituted by the circuit of capital and is characterised by a tendency towards economic liberalism. The second field is brought about by reactions to, and learning from, cycles and crises and various negative experiences. The third field is the field of reason of state. It is evoked by struggles within and among states and has its own inner generative structures. This book analyses the generic dynamics of these three fields of global political economy and explores their most significant causal effects, such as growth, employment, distribution of income and wealth, wars, and ecological effects. Together, the prevailing three fields, as well as the ideas and causal forces which generate them, constitute the 'holomovement' of the global political economy. This book will appeal to advanced students and scholars of global studies, international relations, international political economy, economic theory, and governance, as well as those working in social theory and sociology, and to a broader audience interested in socioeconomics"--

The eurozone has lurched from crisis to calamity. With Greece, Portugal and Ireland driven to the brink of economic catastrophe, and the threat that other EU countries are soon to follow, the consequences for the global economy could be dire. In The Great Eurozone Disaster, Heikki Patomäki provides a captivating narrative about how Europe ended up in its present predicament and offers a radical new vision for 'democratic global Keynesianism' as the most viable way out of the current crisis

"What are the possibilities for and conditions of global security in the twenty-first century?" "This book provides an innovative study of future wars, crises and transformations of the global political economy. It brings together economic theory, political economy, peace and conflict research, philosophy and historical analogy to explore alternatives for the future." "Patomaki develops a bold, original and thought-provoking political economy analysis of the late twentieth-century neo-liberalisation and globalisation and their real effects, which he describes as a twenty-first-century version of imperialism. In order for us to understand global security and to anticipate the potential threats and crises, he argues that a holistic understanding and explanation of history is necessary and demonstrates that a systematic causal analysis of structures and processes is required. Putting this theory into practice, Patomaki constructs a comparative explanatory model that traces the rise of imperialism in the late nineteenth century, culminating in the First World War. He argues that even a partial return to nineteenth-century ideals and practices is very likely to be highly counterproductive in the twenty-first century world and could become a recipe for a major global catastrophe." "This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, globalisation studies, politics, economics and security studies."--Jacket
