Navigating Modernity: Postcolonialism, Identity, and International Relations

by Albert J. Paolini

The intersection of intersubjectivity, modernity, and globalization are central to Paolini's analysis of postcolonialism and the status of the Third World in the contemporary free market economy. He questions dominant notions of identity and subjectivity in the social sciences in this post-modern reflection on international relations in the late 20th century by investigating the subjective and institutional changes of individual life and collective experience in an age of globalization. Until his death, Paolini was at La Trobe U., Australia. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Good book, not to hard to read, and writen by an Italian dude. The stuff on international relations is far better than the sort of dull stuff on identity and whatnot.
