Abstract
Th. Lowi 1969 marked the end of an “Big Government” era in American politics and theory. In 2001 he announces the end of fundamentalist laissez-faire approach in recent politics and theory, especially in the field of globalization and world corporate system. He argues that political science with political economy has a better understanding of these processes and fenomena than economics without political economy. The author of this note accepts “Lowi's challenge” and formulates with him an “agenda for a new global politics” and an “agenda for a new global political economy”. He refers on a few recent articles and a book of his own, where he already has done it, and also reminds of his immediate and accurate politico-economic forecasting of the actual change in American politics after terrorist attack on USA, and the absence of a great economic crisis, which leading American economists realized only a few weeks later.
