GOPAL BALAKRISHNAN is the author of The Enemy: An Intellectual Portraitof Carl Schmitt, and editor of Debating "Empire" and (with Benedict Anderson)Mapping the Nation. A member of the New Left Review editorial board, heteaches Contemporary Theory at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Antagonistics addresses core political and theoretical questions: How should weconceive the relations between neo-imperial warfare and neoliberalism,American hegemony and capitalist globalization? Reflections on the centralissues of the post-9/11 order are set within a larger framework, tracing theintertwined evolution of the modern state system and the capitalist mode ofproduction, from the Treaty of Westphalia to the Occupation of Iraq.Balakrishnan interrogates three key political perspectives-liberalism(Tocqueville), the radical right (Schmitt), and the Marxist left (Althusser)-fortheir insights on state power and civil society, democracy, and class.Antagonistics combines intellectual history, political philosophy, and historicalsociology to produce a highly distinctive portrait of an age of capital and war.
