Description

Underlying the process of the ending of the Cold War are the forces of internationalization represented by the market and forces of democratization rooted in civil society. Each of these two dynamics has developed unevenly in modern history, giving rise to contradictions, particularly between capitalist internationalization and political democratization. The challenges to the state system - the basic framework of the modern international order - posed by the dialectic of these two dynamics form the main themes in this examination of global transformation. This collaborative effort of 20 scholars from around the world represents the first truly comprehensive critical reflection on the contemporary global transformation.
