10/10/2008 Philippe Moreau Defarges, Politique étrangère, World Policy Conference 2008 (hors-série). "Global governance is a horizon. However, like any historic process, global governance emerges from historic dynamics that can, at any moment, break, become deformed, or produce unforeseen effects. The line between horizon and mirage is thin and unpredictable."

Résumé

Twenty years after the collapse of the Soviet world, it may come as a surprise to some just how useful the Marxian conceptual apparatus still is for deciphering the world, especially through the endless contradictions between infrastructures (of a material, technical or economic nature) and superstructures (of an institutional, legal, and political nature).

Philippe Moreau Defarges is a senior fellow and co-director of the RAMSES report at Ifri (French Institute of International Relations). He is the author of, among other works, La Géopolitique pour les Nuls (Paris: éditions First. 2008)
