Stephen Gill, FRSC (born 1950) is Distinguished Research Professor of Political Science at York University, Toronto, Canada. He is known for his work in International Relations and Global Political Economy and has published, among others, ''Power and Resistance in the New World Order'' (2003, second edition 2008), ''Power, Production and Social Reproduction'' (with Isabella Bakker, 2003), ''Gramsci, Historical Materialism and International Relations'' (1993), ''American Hegemony and the Trilateral Commission'' (1990) and ''The Global Political Economy: Perspectives, Problems and Policies'' (with David Law, 1988). Gill has been described as one of the ''Fifty Key Thinkers of International Relations'' and it is noted that "confining his thought to any discipline or sub-field unfairly diminishes the breadth of his work."〔Griffiths, Marti, Steven C. Roach and M. Scott Solomon (2009), ''Fifty Key Thinkers in International Relations'', Second Edition. Routledge. ISBN 0-415-77571-X. p. 178.〕 His work has been translated into many languages, including French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese and Finnish. His 2003 book ''Power and Resistance in the New World Order'' won the Outstanding Academic Title Award of ''Choice'', the journal of the American Library Association.〔http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/publications/choice/outstanding/academic.cfm〕 ==Biography== Gill was raised in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England and states that the British class system in which he grew up was one of the most important factors in shaping his political outlook: "This system helped forge a sense of injustice and resistance to illegitimate power that have been driving forces in much of my intellectual and political work."〔Gill, Stephen (2003). ''Power and Resistance in the New World Order''. Macmillan-Palgrave. ISBN 1-4039-0390-5. p. 2.〕 He attended City of Leeds School before leaving Yorkshire to enter higher education, studying a variety of subjects including English, French, Economics, Industrial Administration, Government and Politics and Education.〔Gill 2003, p. 3.〕 Gill cites Stephen Burman (now of the University of Sussex) and John N. Gray as two of his main influences during his university education. While reading for a doctoral degree in Sociology at Birmingham University, Gill was encouraged by Burman "to study transnational class formations and to begin to think about world order in a more complex way than orthodox theorizations of International Relations seemed to allow."〔Gill 2003, pp. 3–4.〕 This perspective has remained a distinctive feature of Gill’s research and he is noted for the breadth of his work, which is influenced by a wide variety of theoretical approaches.〔Griffiths ''et al.'', p. 178.〕 While studying part-time for his doctorate at Birmingham, Gill also held a full-time position as a lecturer at Wolverhampton Polytechnic (now University), where he formed a close working partnership with David Law, developing a "sociological perspective" on Global Political Economy which would culminate in the publication of their book, ''The Global Political Economy: Perspectives, Problems and Policies'', in 1988.〔Gill 2003, p. 5.〕 Griffiths ''et al.'' note that, "uniquely for its time, () gave serious attention to the entire theoretical spectrum of the field, including variants of Marxism and game theory as well as making novel arguments about the structural power of capital."〔Griffiths ''et al.'', p. 178.〕 In 1990, Gill immigrated to Canada "as an intellectual refugee from Thatcherism" and took up a position as a professor in the Political Science department of York University, Toronto, where he worked with Robert W. Cox.〔Gill 2003, p. 8.〕 He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2003〔http://research.yorku.ca/publichome/aboutyrkres/FRSC/index.html〕 and was awarded the title of Distinguished Research Professor in 2005.〔http://www.yorku.ca/yfile/archive/index.asp?Article=4709〕 In 2003 he was elected Vice-President of the International Studies Association.〔http://www.yorku.ca/gradcmct/profiles/faculty/Gill.html〕 For the 2009-2010 academic year, he was the Erkko Visiting Professor in Studies on Contemporary Society at the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies, University of Helsinki.〔http://www.stephengill.com/index.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stephen Gill (political scientist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
