Cataclysm 1914 brings together leftist scholars from a variety of fields to explore the many different aspects of the origins, trajectories and consequences of the First World War. The collection seeks to visualise the conflict and all its immediate consequences (such as the Bolshevik Revolution and ascendency of US hegemony) as a defining moment in 20th century world politics, rupturing and reconstituting the 'modern' epoch in its many instantiations. Appeals to general readers and those focused on Marxian theory and strategy and leftist histories of the war.
Praise for Anievas’ previous work:
How the West Came to Rule: The Geopolitical Origins of Capitalism
"A fascinating tour de force that will surely be debated in the fields of history, sociology, Marxism and International Relations for years to come"
Justin Rosenberg, Professor in International Relations at the University of Sussex
"This rigorously argued book presents a compelling challenge to standard narratives of capitalist modernity. The authors combine theoretical sophistication and a wide-ranging account of extra-European histories to provide a superb - and provocative - alternative"
Gurminder K Bhambra, author of Connected Sociologies (Bloomsbury)
Marxism and World Politics
"Easily the best introduction to the diversity and richness of contemporary Marxist theory in International Relations and an important resource for anyone seeking to make sense of the relations between capitalism and geopolitics today."
Mark Laffey, SOAS, University of London, UK
