Globalization and Public PolicyPhilip Gummett Political scientists at the University of Manchester, with a little help from colleagues at other English institutions, explore how forces leading to the globalization of economic and political life are related to domestic and international political forces that might favor, impede, ameliorate, or even reverse the trend. They discuss governing the international trade regime during economic nationalism, national embeddedness and international production, international finance and the erosion of state policy, the globalization of health care policy, the restructuring of regional economics, and other topics. One of the 10 essays has been published previously. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
