This book offers an accessible and broadly conceived examination of
the impact of globalization on comparative politics. Written in a
lucid and lively style, it assumes no prior knowledge of either
globalization or comparative politics, and is the ideal textbook
for students who want to know more about these crucial topics.
The world has changed substantially since the end of the Cold War
and the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. There is
much debate - but little agreement - about what precisely has
happened, and how it affects what goes on politically and
economically within countries. At the centre of the debate are the
forces and processes of globalization and how they impact on
domestic outcomes in various kinds of countries.
Comparative Politics in a Globalizing World poses and answers two
key questions:
? How do various aspects of globalization affect outcomes within
countries?
? What are the implications of globalization for our understanding
of comparative politics?
By focusing on three kinds of countries - established democracies,
transitional democracies, and non-democracies - Haynes explores how
domestic outcomes are affected by contemporary globalization.
Throughout the book, key topics are explained, including
regionalization, economic globalization, the natural environment,
political culture, regime change and democratization, political
violence and terrorism, religion, human rights, and women and
political participation. These themes are developed within a
consistently comparative perspective.
This volume will be of immense value to all those interested in one
of the great debates of our time. It will be essential reading for
students of comparative politics, international relations, and
globalization.
