ABSTRACT
The objective of this chapter is to delineate some of the emerging trends in politico-economic thinking from the point of view of what in the poststructuralist literature of social change has come to be known as postmodernity. Post-structuralism embraces the doctrine of a deconstructionist philosophy applied as much to economic theory and institutions as to science, society and politics. Deconstructionist philosophy is an approach toward acquiring an atomistic view of the inner structure of social reality. Hence, its constructive pattern is based on aggregation from the level of the micro-systems and the dissociation of the monolithic structure into its micro-elements.
