Rezensionen

'Lipschutz ... effectively deploys three very useful case studies to support his theoretical argument. Consequently, he has written an important contribution to an emerging debate in political economy, which deserves to be read widely.' - International Affairs

'Globalization is moving fast, impacting on the life of nations with accelerating force. This Major assessment shows how it is being handled by specific groups seeking positive outcomes for the people and the causes they represent. Taking a fresh look at what should be done, calling for a return to politics centred on the direct participation of the individual in the social choices that affect quality of life, working conditions and the global future.' - International Review of Administrative Sciences 72
