This volume investigates the relationship between economic
globalization and institutions, or global governance, challenging
the common assumption that globalization and institutionalization
are essentially processes which exclude each other. Instead, the
contributors to this book show that globalization is better
perceived as a dual process of institutional change at the national
level, and institution building at the transnational level. Rich,
supporting empirical evidence is provided along with a theoretical
conceptualization of the main actors, mechanisms and conditions
involved in trickle-up and trickle-down trajectories through which
national institutional systems are being transformed and
transnational rules emerge. The book collectively argues that
transnational institution building is one of the most striking
features of the current period of internationalization. As a
consequence, debates concerning globalization and global governance
have to be reformulated. The authors posit that globalization is
not threatening governance, but in fact globalization reflects a
particular type of governance. The dilemma, therefore, is not
between globalization and institutions, but between different
meanings of governance and the balance that should be reached
between them. Globalization and Institutions will be of special
interest to academics and scholars of institutional economics,
globalization and management. However, with its focus on two key
debates for which there is clearly rising interest, many social
scientists will find the book of interest.
