“…As neoliberal globalization's ultimate organizing principle is the limitless accumulation of capital , the definitive dynamic of socioeconomic inequities has never been more transnational than now. In the words of Hirsch and Kannankulam (:12), “offensive capital has become more international,” and one of the capital offenses of capital itself is prioritizing further capital accumulation over the emancipatory interest of the marginalized . The “natural law” of neoliberal globalization considers capital accumulation as a sacrosanct principle fully embraced by powerful global capitalists whose allegiance is to their own selfish interests recognizing no other universal norm of collective human welfare except that of only oneself.…”

How do we consolidate developing democratic regimes in the Global South so that the life expectancies of these regimes are considerably sustainable? What have been the key epistemological and normative shortcomings of the mainstream scholarship of democratization? How can we overcome these limitations? Is it necessary to consider the global political economy as a fertile source for deducing some explanatory variables that will help us understand the sources of democratic instability at the national‐domestic spheres of political governance? In view of these questions, I contend that there are fundamental limitations in the mainstream scholarship on democratization that we have to overcome. In this essay, I critically appraise the nature of the democratization debate by positing that existing material inequities and injustices in new electoral democracies in the developing world are constitutive of global hegemonic interests that function as the critical determinants of democratic stability. Second, I propose some corrective suggestions that will perhaps inspire a new research agenda about democratization that should overcome the limitations of the current mainstream social science scholarship on democratization. Finally, I articulate some concluding substantive remarks on why we need to bring the global political economy back into our scholarly analyses of democratic consolidation.

“…If these remarks strengthen Wood's interpretation of recent developments they do not support her assumption that the plurality of states has been satisfactorily established not only as a historical fact but also as a continuing structural prerequisite of capitalism. It is only when competition between states is considered to be essential for the reproduction of capitalism that this continuation can be explained (Hirsch and Kannankulam 2011). We will come back to this.…”

This article provides a general overview and critique of approaches to state theory, from the Marxist “state derivation“ debate of the 1970s, through to regulation and world‐systems perspectives, to theories which encompass imperialism. It proposes that a theory of the political forms of capitalism should have three elements: it should be based on analysis of the different historical processes by which capitalist states have been and are constituted; it should elucidate the specificities of the various political forms of capitalism; and it should explain the continuing existence of a plurality of states and imperialist relations.

“…Una ideología que, para legitimar tal dominación, se articula con especial intensidad en el contexto global actual en torno al concepto estado-nación, permitiendo la reproducción del proyecto hegemónico que constituye y determina la acumulación y competición capitalista (Jessop, 1990;Hirsch y Kannankulam, 2011). Auspiciado por el estado-nación y usando el amplio poder de los medios de comunicación de masas, la ideología dominante actual, el sentido común neoliberal, se ha impuesto de manera abrumadora y ha permeado en la práctica totalidad de la sociedad.…”

ResumenLas relaciones entre patrimonio histórico, sociedad civil y Estado en las ciudades históricas son de elevado interés y su estudio requiere de una visión multidisciplinar desde las ciencias sociales. Existen contradicciones entre el destino público del patrimonio garantizado por el Estado y las formas en las que la conservación y gestión del mismo se llevan a cabo, en tanto tienden a marginar iniciativas que provienen de la ciudadanía, de los movimientos sociales, y potencian aquellas orientadas a la tematización y mercantilización del mismo. Se argumenta que en estos procesos juegan un papel importante los intereses de sectores privados, que buscan su propio beneficio y se oponen al modelo social de patrimonio histórico o cultural. Frente a esta situación, se evalúa la capacidad de proyectos radicales ciudadanos en la lucha práctica frente a la neoliberalización de la ciudad histórica y sus repercusiones en el discurso teórico patrimonial a través de un ejemplo en Cádiz. Palabras clave: teoría patrimonial; ideología; Cádiz; movimientos sociales; okupación. Resum. Recuperant espais i resignificant el concepte patrimoni des dels moviments socials. El cas del CSOA La Higuera (Cadis, Andalusia)Les relacions entre patrimoni històric, societat civil i Estat en les ciutats històriques són d'elevat interès i el seu estudi requereix d'una visió multidisciplinària des de les ciències socials.

Le cas du Centre social squatté autogéré La Higuera (Cadix, Andalousie)Les rapports entre le patrimoine, la société civile et l'État au sein des villes historiques soulèvent un intérêt croissant et leur étude demande une approche multidisciplinaire depuis les Sciences Sociales. Des contradictions existent entre la destination publique du patrimoine garantie par l'Etat et la mise en oeuvre de sa conservation et de sa gestion: celle-ci montre une tendance à la marginalisation des initiatives provenant des habitants, des mouvements sociaux, et renforcent celles qui sont orientées vers la thématisation et la marchandisation de soi-même. Il fait valoir que dans ces processus les intérêts du secteur privé qui cherche son propre bénéfice jouent un rôle important, en opposition au modèle social du patrimoine historique ou culturel. Devant cette situation, la capacité des projets radicaux des citoyens dans la lutte...
