In this volume some of the world's leading analysts of
globalization discuss the economic, political and ethical
implications of global economic integration. They assess the
benefits and the costs of globalization and suggest strategies for
reconciling it with the interests and aspirations of the people in
all regions of the world.
The contributors understand globalization not as a uniform
process that should be praised or condemned in its entirety, but as
a complex phenomenon that can and must be shaped and steered
towards socially desirable goals. They reject the idea that the
results of market processes are inexorable or invariably
beneficial. On the contrary, they call for a robust global
governance that is attentive to normative commitments - the common
good, social justice, and democratic accountability - and does not
reflect the overwhelming power of a handful of governments and
corporate interests.
"Taming Globalization" offers a fresh look at a much-debated
topic, and sets out new ideas for curtailing and overcoming the
negative aspects of global economic change. Contributors include
Robert E. Goodin, David Held, Robert O. Keohane, John Gerard
Ruggie, Joseph E. Stiglitz, and Robert Hunter Wade
