Happy new year to all. Let's make 2016 a year of positive social change! Apologies for cross-posting. --------------- *CALL FOR BOOK PROPOSALS* Series: *STUDIES IN CRITICAL SOCIAL SCIENCES* BRILL, Netherlands Editor: David Fasenfest, [log in to unmask] Modern capitalism began the 21st century seemingly victorious as the dominant social and economic organizing principle in the world. Rampant re- and de-regulation accompanied a wholesale attack on social, economic and political gains of the prior century under the guise of increasing competitiveness and the need to respond to the forces of globalization. The end of the cold war, the decline of the former Soviet Union, and the increasing foothold of capitalism in China all point to an unchallenged reorientation of the global political economy to reflect this ascendance of capitalist social relations. The peer-reviewed *Studies in Critical Social Sciences* book series, through the publication of original manuscripts and edited volumes, offers insights into the current reality by exploring the content and consequence of power relationships under capitalism, by considering the spaces of opposition and resistance to these changes, and by articulating capitalism with other systems of power and domination - for example race, gender, culture - that have been defining our new age. Please submit your proposals to the series editor at the email above.
