Despite myriad global forces influencing the lives of individuals,
societies, and polities, people continue to value their personal
and communal independence. They insist on shaping the conditions of
their existence to the fullest extent possible. At the same time,
many formal and informal institutions – from transnational legal
and financial regimes to new governance arrangements for aboriginal
communities in environmentally sensitive regions – are evolving,
adapting to meet new challenges, or failing to adjust rapidly
enough. Global Ordering examines the key institutions and
organizations that mediate the ever-more complex relationship
between globalization and autonomy. Bringing together an
outstanding group of scholars, this ground-breaking book
contributes significantly to the work of re-imagining the
circumstances under which integrative systemic forces can be
brought into alignment with irreducible commitments to individual
and collective autonomy. It is an important work that maps the new
frontier of globalization studies.
