Publisher's Note
PLANET MANAGEMENT is a study of, and contribution to, the history of "globality" the emergence of a complex organization of politics, economics, and culture at a planetary rather than a national level. This new book draws on historical archival research as well as recent theoretical work in science studies and critical theory to tell the story of the central role of technoscientific discourses and practices in the emergence of globality.
A central argument of the book is that we are experiencing a paradigm shift from a world organized around the political space of the nation state to one organized around the biopolitical space of the whole planet. Concomitant with this shift, we see the emergence of such new political powers as nongovernmental organizations, new forms of production as the global factory, new forms of knowledge as genetic engineering and global change science, and new forms of informational and managerial structures as the Internet and the virtual corporation. This book explores the role that technosciences such as computer modeling, satellite imaging, systems thinking and information processing have in bringing forth new ways of looking at and understanding the world.
