This pioneering volume invites scholars from different social
science disciplines to contribute their competing perspectives to a
far-ranging albeit understudied dimension of globalization.
Globalization has been defined as progressively integrated,
national product and factor markets, cemented by the revolution in
transportation and communications technology. This process has been
driven by transnational corporations who have erected intricate,
global supply chains. Such commercial advances have, in turn,
intensified the interdependence among states and the authors raise
a number of questions: Can the multi-variegated, cross-border
activities in which such non-state actors engage be analyzed
through a single conceptual lens? Can non-state transnational
transfers be so clearly distinguished from exchanges in practice?
What are the implications of transnational transfers, where
material and non-material value is transferred abroad with no
assurance, or even expectation of reciprocal compensation, for
sovereignty? The case studies range from the impact of worker
remittances on failed states to capacity building by global civil
society on behalf of nascent NGOs in China to the transfer of
security (or insecurity) via peacekeepers, track two diplomats and
private security contractors.
