Democratizing Global Governance [Paperback]

Is globalization beyond human control? In this thought-provoking text, the myths and mantras of this apparently irresistible force are challenged and dissembled. By examining a number of fundamental questions, the contributors put forward a radical reform agenda for global governance. Can the global multilateral system be democratic? Are security and economic concerns separable? Can the development of a global civil society contribute to effective global governance? An important and wide ranging study, this book will be essential reading for graduates and researchers in international relations.List of Figures List of Tables Notes on the Contributors Preface Glossary of Acronyms PART I: GLOBAL GOVERNANCE Globalization and Governance: An Overview; M.Tehranian Taming Capital, Holding Peace; M.Tehranian Democratizing Governance; M.Tehranian PART II: GLOBAL FINANCIAL FLOWS The Political Economy of Globalization: The Old and the New; S.Gill Financial Globalization: The State, Capital and Policymaking; K.Malhotra, M.Mezzera & M.Keklik The Asian Financial Crisis and IMF Intervention; M.Mezzera & K.Malhotra The Role of Portfolio Investors in the Asian Financial Crisis; A.Harmes The Case for Regional and Global Financial Regulation; M.Mezzera, K.Malhotra & M.Keklik Renewing the Governance of the Global Economy; K.Malhotra PART III: GLOBAL PEACE AND SECURITY Conflict Prevention: Towards a Multi-Dimensional Approach; M.S.Michael The UN and Disarmament: A Global and Regional Action Plan; M.Hamel-Green The Politics of Biological and Chemical Disarmament; S.Wright Reforming Multilateral Peace Operations: A Survey; E.Aksu Peace Operations: The Road Ahead; J.A.Camilleri PART IV: REIMAGINING THE FUTURE Major Structural Reform; J.A.Camilleri The Politics of Reform; J.A.Camilleri Select Bibliography IndexSTEPHEN GILL Professor of Political Science, York University, CanadaMICHAEL HAMEL-GREEN Associate Professor, Department of Social Inquiry and Community Studies, Victoria UnlCr
