Document Summary
Andrew linklater re-emergence of liberal theory, claims that realism neglected modernization in the world and of foreign policy, paved the way for marxist analyses of dominance and dependence in the world. Chase-dunn formulation: system governed by operation of a single logic of competition for power/security. Marxists attempt to construct a theory of he modern state underline its traditional neglect of impact of diplomatic and strategic interaction not only on state formation but on its own principal object of inquiry: capitalism. Soviet marxism succumbed to classical power politics, abandoning ideal of world community. Modern marists discard the distinction between base and superstructure: states preform a semi-autonomous role in creational of international legal norms, western marxism regards relative autonomy of the state as a major theme in development. Marxism is distinguished by its argument that class structure and conflict are the key to social organization and historical change.
