Table of ContentsIntroduction 1: Power Analysis and The WTO System 2: The Symbolic Face of Power 3: The Competing Kings of Cotton 4: The Heretics in the House Conclusion Appendix BibliographyReviewsThis new monograph offers an exciting and long overdue account of symbolic power in international trade politics, from an author who combines great theoretical sophistication with an admirable lightness of touch. As the World Trade Organisation undergoes a period of post-Doha reflection and reinvention, it stands as a timely and important intervention, offering both a fresh perspective on how we got where we are, as well as a useful conceptual apparatus for rethinking possible futures for this vital international economic organisation. Dr Andrew Lang, Reader in Law, London School of Economics Symbolic Power in the World Trade Organization is a deft adaptation and innovative extension of Bourdieu's theory of classification struggles to probe the ordinary workings and submerged politics of multilateral negotiations on the global scene. Eagleton-Pierce guides us through the labyrinth of policy negotiations over Southern agricultural policy from the Uruguay Round to the Doha agreement to demonstrate how attending to the symbolic modalities of domination both complements and challenges compulsory and institutional conceptions of power. With its intriguing mix of painstaking analytical elaboration and patient empirical parsing, this book sounds a double call for international political economy to add Bourdieu to its conceptual arsenal and to revise its methodologies to grasp how nations battle, rule, or submit beneath and beyond the ambit of material constraint and legal suasion. Loic Wacquant,University of California at Berkeley Symbolic Power in the World Trade Organization is a breath of fresh air in a notoriously dry, overly orthodox and all-too-often unimaginative field. Critical, innovative and persuasive throughout, this is the book we should all be reading and a standard by which we should judge future works on the WTO.
