“This valuable volume gives us insight into a major phenomenon: the response of individual countries to globalization. Readers will learn much from the separate country chapters and from the editors' commentary on the linkage between the chapters and the big issues they raise. Prakash and Hart have added something valuable to the globalization literature.” Peter Gourevitch, University of California at San Diego
”This worthwhile volume brings together a group of distinguished scholars to compare some of the responses to globalization around the world. Their work establishes important sign-posts to guide future research.” Louis W. Pauly, University of Toronto
“Responding to Globalization will prove a valuable addition to the literature on economic globalization. It draws together an unusually detailed and diverse set of empirical studies of economic globalization, and provides an understanding of the rich variety of responses to globalization. It will certainly advance our understanding of the phenomenon. It deserves a wide readership.” Sean O'Riain, University of California at Davis
The new challenges and opportunities created by the spread of globalization have reshaped both institutional and individual responses to this phenomenon. This comprehensive analysis of the way in which governments and firms have responded to globalization examines closely the options available to both, and the historical and institutional contexts to the strategic decisions made.
Responding to Globalization draws together a panel of international experts in a conceptually rigorous examination of the profound impact of globalization.
