Re: [OPE-L] (new journal) New Global Studies

You may cite this message only if you do not disclose who wrote it. 

Notice that economics is not included in the list of disciplines that might
be relevant to "today's globalizing process"!  Isn't that
fascinating?



Hi David:

Thanks for picking up on that.  I had noticed it as well.  It is
indeed - as you say - odd for an "interdisciplinary" journal
(on globalization of all things!) not to include economics.
I do not think, though, that this omission was accidental:
rather, it reflects a perspective among some academics in
the anti-globalization movement.    In an effort not to
crudely reduce globalization to its economic aspects alone,
they have adoped an equally one-sided but opposing
perspective.  I agree that crude political economy can
result.


In solidarity, Jerry
