全球化和the Nation-State

Edited by Frans Buelens, Professor of Economics, HIVT, Antwerp and Researcher, University of Antwerp, Belgium

The globalisation of the world economy is one of the major concepts of our time and is likely to influence thinking and policy making well into the 21st century. Although officially welcomed as a major contribution to world welfare it is held by many to be responsible for low wages and mass unemployment. This book questions the seemingly inevitable progress of globalisation and the role of the state as a powerless institution in a globalised economy.

‘Each of the chapters is rigorous in its accumulation of evidence and thoughtful in its application of analysis.’
– Ben Rosamond, Democratization
