Brett Neilson
Professor at the Institute for Culture and Society at the Western Sydney University. His research and writing aim to provide alternative ways of conceiving globalization, with particular emphasis upon its social and cultural dimensions. Drawing on cultural and social theory as well as on empirical studies, his work has derived original and provocative means for rethinking the significance of globalization for a wide range of contemporary problems and predicaments, including the proliferation of borders, the ascendancy of financial markets, the pressures of population ageing, the governance of logistical chains, and the role of digital infrastructures.
He published numerous books, among them: “The Rest and the West: Capital and Power in a Multipolar World” (2024) “The politics of operations: excavating contemporary capitalism” (2019) and “Border as method, or, the multiplication of labor” (2013), all three with Sandro Mezzadra; “Logistical Asia: the labour of making a world region (2018) with Ned Rossiter and Ranabir Samaddar.
