Book Description
The study of international relations now goes well beyond state-to-state politics and even regional politics. Technological forces are working their effects on the world as a whole, bringing state and non-state actors into contact with one another. Globalization, Institutions and Governance provides students with a sophisticated and engaging exploration of the often differing impacts of these technological forces and the wider implications of globalization for theories of global governance and the role of international institutions.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Globalization is not all good, of course, but neither is it all bad. What we need — and what Madeira and Caporaso have now provided — is a more nuanced way of thinking about the nexus between global markets and domestic political structures. Globalization, Institutions and Governance doesn′t shy away from big questions about the “co-dependence” of markets, states, and non-state actors. But the book doesn′t just raise difficult questions; it also provides hard answers, abstractly as well as concretely, with reference to all sorts of up-to-the-minute examples. The Greek debt crisis, Google′s recent forays into China, the war in Afghanistan: it′s all here. Written with real flair and ranging widely, Globalization and International Relations is just the sort of discipline-spanning text its subject demands – and that our students have been waiting for
