Economic Governance in the Age of Globalization
The best critical analysis of the constructing of current economic governance institutions and agendas.

This juxtaposition illuminates the contingent character of the current system and the work that can be done to develop alternative objectives.(Saskia Sassen, author ofLosing Control?

The book is well written and engaging and the arguments are clear and well formulated.(Christopher Chase-Dunn, University of California, Riverside)The book does a wonderful job of laying out the dilemmas of the current incomplete attempts to govern the global economy, placing them in a historical context that allows us to see viable alternatives.(Craig N.
