Globalization, Institutions and Governance

Just about every imaginable aspect of modern society has been globalized. In this timely and authoritative new textbook, Caporaso and Madeira provide a sophisticated and engaging overview of globalization in the modern world.

Exploring the complex interplay between economic, political, and cultural forces at the global level, Globalization, Institutions and Governance moves from a discussion of the key theoretical approaches to globalization, to analysing the role of domestic institutions, and on to the wider implications of globalization for theories of global governance and the role of international institutions. The book culminates with a discussion of winners and losers in globalization, outlining the available political choices for governments attempting to maximize the gains from globalization while minimizing its costs.

Globalization, Institutions and Governance will prove a fascinating and insightful read for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and academics in the fields of International Relations and Politics.
