"Frankfurt School Perspectives on Globalization, Democracy, and the
Law" makes use of the work of first-generation Frankfurt School
theorist Franz L. Neumann, in conjunction with his famous
successor, Jurgen Habermas, to try to understand the momentous
political and legal transformations generated by globalization.
This volume demonstrates that the Frankfurt School tradition
speaks directly to some pressing political and social concerns,
including globalization, the reform of the welfare state, and the
environmental crisis. Despite widespread claims to the contrary,
the legal substructure of economic globalization tends to conflict
with traditional models of the "rule of law." Neumann's prediction
that contemporary capitalism would decreasingly depend on
generality, clarity, publicity, and stability in the law is
supported by a surprising variety of empirical evidence. Habermas's
recent work is then interrogated in order to pursue the question of
how we might counteract the deleterious trends accurately predicted
by Neumann. How might democracy and the rule of law flourish in the
context of globalization?
The book is intended for scholars and advanced students in
political science, sociology, philosophy and cultural studies.
