| Description: |
This innovative, interdisciplinary work explores key institutional fault lines between the tectonic plates of globalization and the insistent demands for individual and collective autonomy. |
| Synopsis: |
Despite myriad global forces influencing the lives of individuals,societies, and polities, people continue to value their personal andcommunal independence. They insist on shaping the conditions of theirexistence to the fullest extent possible. At the same time, many formaland informal institutions - from transnational legal andfinancial regimes to new governance arrangements for aboriginalcommunities in environmentally sensitive regions - are evolving,adapting to meet new challenges, or failing to adjust rapidlyenough.Global Ordering examines the key institutions andorganizations that mediate the increasingly complex relationshipbetween globalization and autonomy. Bringing together an outstandinggroup of scholars, this ground-breaking book contributes significantlyto the work of re-imagining the circumstances under which integrativesystemic forces can be brought into alignment with irreduciblecommitments to individual and collective autonomy. It is important workthat maps the new frontier of globalization studies. |
