Globalization and Governance

Globalization and Governance is a completely up-to-date, impartial survey of a variety of perspectives on what constitutes governance, how globalization might impact on governance, and the state. Eleven essays and a thorough introduction provide a theoretical framework and a literature overview. Unlike most books on the subject, this does not espouse any ideological agenda and examines the topical subject of globalization in a conceptually rigorous way.

"The volume edited by Prakash and Hart is a first-rate piece of work, a highly valuable contribution to the IPE and globalization literature. It is an excellent collection of conceptually elegant and empirically rich essays, and is one of the very few books systematically to examine the impact of globalization on multiple facets of governance." Sylvia Ostry, University of Toronto

"This is a timely collection of essays on a truly vital topic: the meaning of economic globalization for the way we govern our lives. Prakash and Hart are to be commended for bringing together such a distinguished group of scholars, whose thoughtful contributions are both illuminating and instructive. Specialists in international political economy cannot afford to miss this valuable addition to a growing body of literature." Benjamin J. Cohen, University of California, Santa Barbara
