Global Instability: Uncertainty and New Visions in Political
Economy presents a series of papers that address the political
consequences of globalization for states and their populations,
while exploring the issue of alternatives to the model of
globalization we are presently experiencing. The focus moves from
the world of international agreements to the national and
sub-national dilemmas that are posed by attempting to manage a set
of global developments within a given territory. The initial
chapter, by Daniel Drache, explores a still-born post-war
international organization, the International Trade Organization,
that offers a different vision of how a globally integrated economy
might operate. A number of papers then explore the challenges posed
by today's globalization, including currency instability in an
environment of financial deregulation, the rights conferred on
investors by the North American Free Trade Agreement, and the
progressive liberalization of trade in services built into the
General Agreement on Trade in Services. The difficulties faced by
states are analyzed in a number of chapters that address industrial
and social policy issues. A final group of papers explores some
theoretical alternatives to a globalized world. Responses at the
level of institutions as well as ideas are canvassed and the
urgency of the problem is highlighted by Duncan Cameron's
concluding article which argues that we are already living in which
he terms a quasi-democracy.' The various chapters attempt to ground
their analysis of instability, uncertainty and change in the real
problems that globalization creates for states and peoples, and for
those who might attempt to devise alternatives.
As a group, these papers offer a unique and timely synthesis of key
themes in the political economy of globalization suitable for
senior undergraduate and graduate students in political science,
economics, and business.
