The point, however, is to change it.” – Karl Marx That is the point, it’s true—but not in this course. This quote, indirectly, hints at a deep tension in Marxism. If we want to change the world we need to understand it. But the desire to change something can infect our understanding of it. This is a pervasive dynamic in the history of Marxism and the first step is to admit there is a problem. This means acknowledging the presence of wishful thinking, without letting it induce paralysis. On the other hand, if there are pitfalls in being upfront in your desire to change the world there are also virtues. The normative 1 goal of social change helps to avoid common trappings of academia, in particular, the laser focus on irrelevant questions. Plus, in having a set of value commitments, stated clearly, you avoid the false pretense that values don’t enter in the backdoor in social science, which they often do if you’re paying attention. With this caveat in place, Marxian social science really does have a lot to offer in understanding the world and that’s what we’ll analyze in this course. The goal is to look at the different hypotheses that broadly emerge out of the Marxian tradition and see the extent to which they can be supported both theoretically and empirically.

  • Noam Chomsky and International Theory After the Cold War

    Noam Chomsky and International Theory After the Cold War

    Review of International Studies (2003), 29, 587–604 Copyright © British International Studies Association DOI: 10.1017/S0260210503005874 Discerning the patterns of world order: Noam Chomsky and international theory after the Cold War MARK LAFFEY* Abstract. In this article I argue that Chomsky’s political writings, widely ignored in the discipline, are a significant resource for thinking about contemporary world politics, how we should analyse it, and to what ends. This claim is defended through an analysis of recent efforts by IR scholars to interpret the post-Cold War order. When viewed through the analytic perspective articulated by Chomsky, disciplinary accounts of the post-Cold War world as liberal and peaceful are shown to be insufficiently attentive to the empirical record. Chomsky’s political writings are also shown to be compatible with standard accounts of critical social science. How useful is the work of Noam Chomsky for understanding contemporary world politics? It depends who you ask. For the thousands of people around the world who attend his lectures and buy his books, Chomsky is a popular and respected guide to making sense of complex international realities.1 For almost four decades, he has been in constant demand from diverse audiences, in the United States and elsewhere, as a speaker on world politics in general and US foreign policy in particular. Chomsky’s numerous books, on topics ranging from the Vietnam war, the political economy of human rights, terrorism, and the mass media, to humanitarian intervention, and neoliberal globalisation, amongst others, sell in large numbers. In the twelve months after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in September 2001, a collection of Chomsky’s interviews, entitled 9–11, sold well over 200,000 copies and had been translated into 19 languages.2 Chomsky is emeritus Institute Professor of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT, and widely regarded as the author of an intellectual revolution in linguistics.

Chomsky and Genocide Adam Jones University of British Columbia Okanagan Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada Introduction Avram Noam Chomsky (1928–) may be the most prominent and significant public intellectual of the post-World War Two period. His contributions to linguistic theory continue to generate debate and controversy. But two generations know him primarily for his political writings, public talks, and other activism, voicing a left-radical, humanist critique of US foreign policy and other subjects. Works such as American Power and the New Mandarins (1969, on Vietnam and US imperialism more generally), The Fateful Triangle: Israel, the US, and the Palestinians (1983), James Peck’s edited The Chomsky Reader (1987), and 1988’s Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media (co-authored with Edward S. Herman) hold a venerated status for leftist/progressive readers.
