Abstract
This paper provides a framework of understanding how globalization has reshaped the terrain and parameters of
social, economic and political relations both at the national and the global levels and has exerted pressure on the resiliency capacities of capitalism. It proposes to
examine the ways social relations of domination and subordination are produced, reproduced and maintained
while continuously undergoing transformations. Through studying the evolution of the capitalist world order
in a historical perspective and by exploring the changes
of relations brought about by the intensification of globalization since the 1990s, the intention is to generate
a perspective for understanding such a process based on the application of Gramscian and Polanyian theoretical
and analytical categories so as to comprehend that the
process also produces the self-imposing contradiction: i.e. reducing the legitimacy of capitalism’s hegemony and
especially limiting its resilient capacities.
