A Poststructuralist Discourse Theory of Global Politics

Meer over het boek

The book presents a discourse theory that redefines crisis in global politics as a structural dislocation rooted in difference and incompleteness. It argues that change is an ongoing yet ultimately futile pursuit of full identity. This perspective highlights the inherent incompleteness of social structures as crucial for the possibility of democratic politics. Rather than viewing crisis as a sporadic event, it is framed as a constant aspect of social existence, reflecting the lack of a solid foundation both within individuals and society as a whole.
