Producing Globalisation - Politics of Discourse and Institutions in Greece and Ireland (Hardcover)

How can we study globalization in a way that transcends the material/ideational rift? How has globalization resonated and/or dominated in different national contexts? What role has been played by national political economies and domestic institutions in this process? "Producing Globalisation" attempts to scrutinize the nature of the interplay between globalization and national institutional settings. Rather than taking globalization as a given, this book explores how concrete political actors produced the phenomenon of globalization. Such an approach aims to bring human agency and its importance to the forefront of theory and practice in world politics and economics. The analysis is based on two case-studies, Greece and Ireland. By examining and comparing the discourses, policies and strategies of key, national institutional actors in these two countries, "Producing Globalisation" offers new insights into the emergence of globalization as a hegemonic discourse, as well as into the theory of hegemonic discourse itself. Thus the author invites us to think differently both about the nature of globalization and the nature of the hegemonic within international political economy.
