States and Sovereignty in the Global Economy

University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation

Synopsis:

New developments in information technology, an increasing flow of information and cultural exchanges, and the rapidity with which trade and investment now takes place has given rise to uncertainty. This book seeks to understand the nature of these changes, their impact on the sovereignty of the nation state, and whether this process of globalization is in fact something new. The contributors consider the historical development of the state in the global economy, the forces that have created the modern global economy, regional issues of globalization and the importance of the state. Also included are a series of case studies from around the world.
