Description
A volume of 12 essays which together provide a critique of the statecentricity of contemporary political thought and an empirical study of the nature and effects of municipal radicalism. Magnusson (political science, U. of Victoria) argues for a postmodern approach to politics, asserting that the dialectic of sovereignty continues to confuse people's search for an effective political space. Paper edition (unseen), $21.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
