Description

Drawing on current debates on globalization and the future role of the state, the starting point of this book is that the state has not disintegrated, but must restructure and evolve in response to the forces of transnationalization. Theoretically rooted, it uses a wide range of empirical examples to illustrate the difficulties inherent in the notion of a unified response to globalization.
