Prof. Robert Guttmann analyses the current transformation of the international world order by looking at the evolutions of the international monetary system. Referring to a "long waves" approach, and building on the French Regulation Theory, he shows how globalization has actually been shaped in the last decades by the long-term transformation of fordism into finance-led capitalism. Today, finance-led capitalism (characterized by the hegemony of the United States and the international domination of the US dollar) approaches its final crisis, and globalization itself, as several indicators show, is retrenching. Three global capitalist blocks are emerging in the middle of this crisis, competing and cooperating with one another, under the common planetary threat of climate change.

Comment from our editors:

Very enlightening talk aggregating several perspectives and economic dimensions with one another. Grounds the current commercial war in a broader historical and macroeconomic context.

"Yuliya Yurchenko is a senior lecturer and researcher in political economy at University of Greenwich. She is currently in Ukraine on an extraordinary leave. And while she writes that she is, for the moment, in relative safety, that could change any moment. Being a Ukrainian, an activist and an academic, Yuliya traveled to Ukraine on Feb 19, 2022 as part of a fact-finding and solidarity mission with a number of MPs, trade unionists and journalists. The goal, she says, of this mission is to connect with civil society organizations, trade unions, activists and politicians, and “to express direct, cross-border solidarity from the UK working class to the Ukrainian working class.”

For many social critics "globalization" is a signpost of “late-capitalism” with the rise of multinational corporations, mass consumption and the multidirectional flows of capital, labor, media, communication, ideologies and social movements across national borders. Feminist analyses of globalization and the gendered and sexualized permutations of these phenomena offer a critical stance for theorizing these processes, and for studying their complex articulations across time and space.
