Governance in a Global Economy Political Authority in Transition

"This well-crafted and timely volume challenges the common assumption that globalization is an inexorable force severely circumscribing the policy autonomy or sovereignty of national governments. Its chapters make for a rich collection of ideas, evidence, and rigorous social science theorizing about the causes and consequences of global change. Following the terrible events of September 11, 2001, some observers speculated that 'globalization is dead.' But this has proven not to be so. Indeed, the issues addressed in this book are more important than ever for those concerned with pursuing an understanding of contemporary international affairs."--Timothy J. Sinclair, University of Warwick, coauthor ofApproaches to World Order "This book includes a number of excellent chapters by many of the leading scholars in international political economy that advance important and innovative arguments for globalization's impact on governance as being indeterminate. The editors are to be commended on bringing together such a high quality group of researchers in one volume."--Eric Helleiner, Trent University, author ofStates and the Re-emergence of Global FinanceKahler, Miles is the author of 'Governance in a Global Economy Political Authority in Transition', published 2003 under ISBN 9780691114026 and ISBN 0691114021.
