The book delves into the intricate process of globalization, offering a genealogical perspective that contributes to our understanding of the profound and transformative spatial shift that is reshaping our world from both a political and a conceptual standpoint. Taking into account recent events such as Brexit and the politics of Donald Trump, it provides a fresh insight into globalization. By concentrating his analysis on the natural element of "air," Vegetti offers an innovative approach to the topic. Drawing inspiration from the German jurist and political theorist Carl Schmitt, Vegetti characterizes our global age as marked by the transformation of air into a tangible social space. This transformation began with the advent of airplanes, radio waves, and radar and has continued to evolve into the modern structure of global networks that we see today.
The book explores the various dimensions of this transformation, including its economic, social, and cultural implications. It examines how air travel has facilitated the spread of ideas, cultures, and technologies across borders, creating a interconnected world. It also explores the challenges and opportunities that arise from this global interconnectedness, such as the rise of multinational corporations, the spread of diseases, and the impact of climate change.
Through its comprehensive analysis, the book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of globalization and its impact on our lives. It provides a framework for understanding the forces that drive globalization and the strategies that can be used to navigate its challenges and maximize its benefits. Whether you are an academic, policymaker, or simply interested in understanding the world around us, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the global landscape.
