Stephen Gill (political scientist)

thumb|Stephen Gill Stephen Gill (born 1950) is Distinguished Research Professor of Political science at York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He is known for his work in International relations and the International political economy Quotes Recently the so-called Arab spring of 2011 provided an inspiration and a catalyst for the Occupy Movements that have spread rapidly throughout the world, and perhaps significantly, awakened political forces in the United States on the left for the first time in a broad-based way since the 1960s... What is remarkable about these occupations and the challenge to the politics of neo-liberal capitalism that they represent, is that they have gained the support of the vast majority of people in every country where the occupations have occurred. It shows that today’s youth – and the population more generally – are not fooled by false promises and have developed a fairly radical political economy perspective on the world, appreciating its deep injustices and opposing the almost obscene levels of inequality that have developed. 2011 External links Category:1950 births Category:Living people Category:Academics from England Category:Political scientists from England Category:Immigrants to Canada
