Globalization, Democratization and Multilateralism [Paperback]

Globalization involves structural changes in forms of state, society and culture, ecology and political economy and in ethics and expectations. In this collection, globalization and multilateralism are linked to questions of epistemology, ontology, and strategy. Epistemology entails critical questioning of the nature of knowledge and its foundations. Ontology concerns the significant factors in global political economy. Strategy involves how to move world affairs from its present condition towards normative goals enunciated in the MUNS programme, so as to promote collective ability to channel structural change in a more democratic direction.Global Structural Change and Multilateralism; Stephen Gill - Finance, Production and Panopticism: Inequality, Risk and Resistance in an Era of Disciplinary Neo-Liberalism; Stephen Gill - Nordic Welfare Capitalism in the Emerging Global Political Economy; Magnus Ryner - Restructuring the Global Divison of Labour; James H Mittelman - New Global Migration Dynamics; Helene Pellerin - Identity, Interests and Idealogy: The Gendered Terrain of Global Restructuring; Isabella Bakker - Structural Adjustment and the G-7: Limits and Contradictions; Fantu Cheru and Stephen Gill - Global Environmental Issues and the World Bank; David Law - Atlantic Rivalries and the Collapse of the USSR; Kees Van Der Pijl - Civil Society and Political Economy in South and Southern Africa; Fantu Cheru - Some Reflections on the Oslo Symposium; Robert W Cox
