Features: Most of the essays in this book were written between 1991 and 2000, with the majority composed after 1995. They reflect my efforts to address the significant issues that emerged at the forefront of our consciousness during this tumultuous decade. Of course, these efforts also demonstrate further elaborations on certain problems encountered while writing my book After the Revolution: The Awakening of Global Capitalism (Westview Press, 1994 edition). A recurring theme throughout most of the essays in this book is the issue of globalization; additionally, the author explores related topics such as postmodernism and postcolonialism, as well as radical political forms under the conditions of global capitalism.
