Is globalization good for democracy? Or has it made our governing
institutions less accountable to citizens? Located at the
intersection of international relations and comparative politics,
this book explores the effects of globalization on national
governance. Under what circumstances do the transnational forces
that embody globalization encourage or discourage political
accountability? Among the transnational forces discussed in the
book are the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank,
multinational corporations, the United Nations, private military
contractors, peacekeepers, the European Court of Human Rights, and
several transnational social movements. Using in-depth case studies
of situations in which these transnational institutions interact
with national governments and citizens, Valerie Sperling traces the
impact of economic, political, military, judicial, and civic
globalization on state accountability and investigates the degree
to which transnational institutions are themselves responsible to
the people whose lives they alter.
