Globalization and politics, Volume one, Global political governance

In: Central currents in globalization

Abstract

The first volume in this set considers the idea of global political governance, including the impact of globalisation on the nation-state and the role of multilateral regimes such as the United Nations. The second looks at globalising political developments at ground level, including the notion of a 'global civil society' and the rise of the 'anti-globalisation' movement. The final two volumes review the various social theories and philosophies of globalisation along with the political critiques of globalisation as homogenising, marginalising and/or exploitative force
