Description
Anievas presents the Thirty Years' Crisis as a result of the development of global capitalism with all its destabilising social and geopolitical consequences, particularly the intertwined and co-constitutive nature of imperial rivalries, social revolutions, and anti-colonial struggles. Building on the theory of "uneven and combined development," he unites geopolitical and sociological explanations into a single framework, thereby circumventing the analytical stalemate between "primacy of domestic politics" and "primacy of foreign policy" approaches.
Anievas opens new avenues for thinking about the relations among security-military interests, the making of foreign policy, political economy and, more generally, the origins of war and the nature of modern international order.
