Capitalism and the emergent world order / Barry Buzan and George Lawson
Language: English Subject(s): In: International Affairs . -- v.30, n 1 ( Jan. 2014)Abstract: This article assesses the strengths and weaknesses of four modes of capitalist governance: liberal democratic, social democratic, competitive authoritarian and state bureaucratic; and probes the main contours of intercapitalist competition. Will the political differences between democratic and authoritarian capitalists override their shared interests or be mediated by them? Will there be conflicting capitalisms as there were in the early part of the twentieth century? Or will the contemporary world see the development of some kind of concert of capitalist powers? A world of politically differentiated capitalisms is likely to be with us for some time. As such, a central task facing policy-makers is to ensure that geo-economic competition takes place without generating geopolitical conflict.Revista R0097 (MAEC- Biblioteca Central)
