In this book, the authors set forth a new model of globalization
that lays claims to supersede existing models, and then use this
model to assess the way the processes of globalization have
operated in different historic periods in respect to political
organization, military globalization, trade, finance, corporate
productivity, migration, culture, and the environment. Each of
these topics is covered in a chapter which contrasts the
contemporary nature of globalization with that of earlier epochs.
In mapping the shape and political consequences of
globalization, the authors concentrate on six states in advanced
capitalist societies (SIACS): the United States, the United
Kingdom, Sweden, France, Germany, and Japan. For comparative
purposes, other states -- particularly those with developing
economics -- are referred to and discussed where relevant. The book
concludes by systematically describing and assessing contemporary
globalization, and appraising the implications of globalization for
the sovereignty and autonomy of SIACS. It also confronts directly
the political fatalism that surrounds much discussion of
globalization with a normative agenda that elaborates the
possibilities for democratizing and civilizing the unfolding global
transformation.
