The Palgrave Handbook on China-Europe-Africa Relations
Zusammenfassung: This handbook comprehensively covers topics in international relations, with a specific focus on China-Europe-Africa relations.

The first three parts of the book covers issues related to strategy, economy, and security, with specific case studies. In addition, the fourth part, not only focuses on China-Europe-Africa, b...
The International Political Economy of the BRICS
Exploring to what extent the BRICS group is a significant actor challenging the global order, this book focuses on the degree and consequence of their emergence and explores how important cooperation is to individual BRICS members’ foreign policy strategies and potential relevance as leaders in regional and global governance. The BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) have come to play an important role on the global political scene. As a group, and as individual countries, they have taken initiatives to establish new institutions, and have engaged in yearly summits that coordinate their voice and focus on intra-BRICS cooperation. In this sense, the BRICS may be seen ...
The Chinese Global Dream, Volume II
This book explores the socio-economic, political and diplomatic implications of China’s ongoing engagement with the Latin America region against the backdrop of an increasingly fragile global political climate. It investigates the successes of the post-pandemic era diplomacy, alongside the setbacks, as China seeks to secure and maintain her presence across the region. Ever since Xi lengthened his stewardship of China by another decade, he has been aiming to level-up the Chinese values and Sino-orientalism on the global stage. Through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) he expanded into the Middle East, and through natural resource veiled humanitarian relief efforts, he sought to strengthen ...
The Palgrave Handbook of EU-Latin American Relations
This Handbook explores the interactions within the Euro-Latin American region and analyzes the interests, norms, and practices of actors influencing the governance of interregional issues and policies. The chapters examine how states and non-state players in the Atlantic region tackle issues related to asymmetries, development disparities, and adaptation to the global system. Eight sections cover the unique characteristics of the interregional connections between the European Union (EU) and Latin America. The first examines multiple perspectives on defining and understanding Euro-Latin American Space, and the second continues with explaining the role of three leading EU institutions in the relationship with Latin America. EU relations with Latin American regions and some individual countries are the subject of sections three and four. The economic and political bi-regional agendas are explored in sections five and six. This Handbook closes with two sections focused on the societal experiences and the role of external actors.

Beyond traditional themes lik...
Transnational Capital and Class Fractions
Emerging in the late 1970s, the Amsterdam School’s (AS) most distinctive contribution to international political economy was the systematic incorporation of the Marxian concept of capital fractions into the study of international politics. Contending that politics in advanced capitalist countries takes place in a fundamentally transnationalized space in which the distinction between ‘domestic’ and ‘international’ has blurred, it shows how in this space, politics is structured by competing comprehensive concepts of control. Presenting a concise and instructive introduction to the origins, development and significance of this distinct approach, this book provides a unique overview of...
