Sample text

In other words, capitalism tends to unify the globe in a single world system where access to investment and markets is extremely unequally distributed geographically. It is interesting to see the role this plays in Lenin’s critique of Kautsky’s theory of ultra-imperialism. Lenin concedes that the ultimate formation of a single world monopoly as a result of the progressive organization of capitalism is theoretically conceivable, but argues that to base political analysis on such a possibility is profoundly misleading.

Yet, the conflicts over the control of the capitalist state determine the degree to which capitalist property relations, the process of surplus appropriation and the conditions for capital’s profitable re-investment are re-politicized or de-politicized (implying that the separation of rule and exploitation is as much apparent as it is real). 4 What does this conceptualization of the capitalist state imply for the theorization of the international relations of capitalist modernity? In our perspective, the main implication is that we must return to history in order to reconstruct historical materialist theory.

5 Kiely offers an example of this kind of lazy criticism. Thus he charges ‘theorists of the new imperialism’ with simply repeating Lenin and Bukharin. For example, ‘[t]he small power imperialism of the Iraqi regime in 1991 is barely mentioned in these accounts as “local” conflicts appear to be completely determined by global (big power) imperialist conflicts. The analysis therefore lacks a convincing account of processes of state formation and development, and primitive accumulation in the periphery’ (Kiely 2005, 33).
