description: The intensification of patterns of global interconnectedness in the 20th century, combined with the emergence of quasi-supranational regional and global institutions, has challenged profoundly the nature of the modern nation-state and traditional conceptions of society as a bounded entity. This volume provides an examination of these patterns and processes. It offers a comprehensive introduction to theoretical accounts and empirical descriptions of the global circumstances, and provides a collection of data on the interrelatedness of domestic and international affairs, ranging across economics, culture and communications, migration, environmental issues, law, military and security matters, among other areas. This book maps the shape and scope of the new world order, seeking to conceptionally clarify, to theoretically define and to historically specify the notion of globalization while exploring its implications for the sovereignty and autonomy of states and societies.
