Has globalization diluted the power of national governments to regulate their own economies? Are international governmental and nongovernmental organizations weakening the hold of nation-states on ...global regulatory agendas? Many observers think so. But in All Politics Is Global, Daniel Drezner argues that this view is wrong. Despite globalization, states--especially the great powers--still dominate international regulatory regimes, and the regulatory goals of states are driven by their domestic interests. As Drezner shows, state size still matters. The great powers--the United States and the European Union--remain the key players in writing global regulations, and their power is due to the size of their internal economic markets. If they agree, there will be effective global governance. If they don't agree, governance will be fragmented or ineffective. And, paradoxically, the most powerful sources of great-power preferences are the least globalized elements of their economies. Testing this revisionist model of global regulatory governance on an unusually wide variety of cases, including the Internet, finance, genetically modified organisms, and intellectual property rights, Drezner shows why there is such disparity in the strength of international regulations.
What are the consequences of globalization for the structure of political conflicts in Western Europe? How are political conflicts organized and articulated in the twenty-first century? And how does ...the transformation of territorial boundaries affect the scope and content of political conflicts? This book sets out to answer these questions by analyzing the results of a study of national and European electoral campaigns, protest events and public debates in six West European countries. While the mobilization of the losers in the processes of globalization by new right populist parties is seen to be the driving force of the restructuring of West European politics, the book goes beyond party politics. It attempts to show how the cleavage coalitions that are shaping up under the impact of globalization extend to state actors, interest groups and social movement organizations, and how the new conflicts are framed by the various actors involved.
The claim that people in developed countries have vast, unmet obligations to help people in developing countries is usually based on duties of kindness or a global extrapolation of justice among ...compatriots. This book constructs a different basis, the need for responsible engagement in transnational interactions in which power is currently abused. After arguing for an undemanding principle of beneficence and deriving duties of justice among compatriots from their special relations, the book develops standards of responsible conduct in current global interactions that determine: what must be done to avoid exploitation in transnational manufacturing, what framework for world trade and investment would be fair, what response to the challenge of global warming is adequate and equitable, what responsibilities to help meet basic needs arise when foreign powers steer the course of development, and what obligations are created by uses of violence to sustain global power. Through detailed empirical inquiries, the book argues that there has been a massive failure to live up to these standards, creating demanding duties to avoid undue advantage and repair abuses of power, on the part of developed countries in general and especially the United States. The book describes policies that would meet these obligations, leading obstacles, and the role of social movements in reducing injustice, especially a global form of social democracy expressing the book's perspective
Notre recherche se propose d’explorer la relation entre la croissance
internationale de l’entreprise et l’intra-régionalisation vs
l’inter-régionalisation. Nous développons un cadre théorique fondé ...essentiellement sur les
avantages et les handicaps des contextes géographiques intra- et inter-régionaux. Ce cadre
théorique permet d’expliquer non seulement la supériorité en matière de croissance
internationale de l’intra-régionalisation par rapport à l’inter-régionalisation, mais aussi
les mécanismes par lesquels les similitudes intra-régionales, les différences
inter-régionales et le degré d’engagements internationaux s’interagissent pour faire évoluer
la croissance des entreprises intra- et inter-régionales. Nos résultats apportent plusieurs
contributions et implications de recherche à la littérature émergente de la
régionalisation.
En las últimas décadas ha surgido en México una generación de jóvenes versadoras de son jarocho que se dedican a la décima, tanto escrita como improvisada. Esta generación ha encontrado en las redes ...sociales una herramienta para hacerse oír y tejer lazos comunitarios en un contexto de creciente globalización. En este artículo, demuestro cómo la joven poeta y músico mexicana Evelin Acosta, en su libro Decimario (2021), pone en cuestión la figura masculina del trovador y los tropos del amor romántico asociados a esta. Su uso de medios impresos y electrónicos retoma elementos de la cultura oral para adaptarlos a las necesidades globales contemporáneas. Concluyo que la divulgación de la décima en medios impresos y electrónicos se ha convertido en una estrategia valiosa para preservar y difundir la versada jarocha, y a la vez para cuestionar la violencia de las estructuras patriarcales en el son tradicional.
This book provides an essential historical framework for understanding global business. The author shows how entrepreneurs built a global economy in the nineteenth century by creating firms that ...pursued resources and markets across borders. It demonstrates how firms shifted strategies as the first global economy disintegrated in the political and economic chaos between the two world wars, and how they have driven the creation of the contemporary global economy. Many of the issues of the global economy have been encountered in the past. This book reveals how entrepreneurs and managers met the political, ethical, cultural, and organizational challenges of operating across borders at different times and in different environments. The role of multinationals is placed within their wider political and economic context. There are chapters on the impact of multinationals, and on relations with governments. The focus on the shifting roles of firms and industries over time provides compelling evidence on the diversity and discontinuities of the globalization process. The book explores the history of multinationals across a wide spectrum of manufacturing, service and natural resource industries. By providing an accessible survey of the history of international business worldwide, this book will be key reading for students taking courses in International Business, Business History, and Entrepreneurship; and of interest to academics and researchers working in these areas.

The relationship between "national" geographical schools and an increasingly globalized geographical theory-building under the logics of Anglophone hegemony has generated critical debate within ...geography. This paper aims to contribute to current discussions on the development of differential, language-based "schools of thought" in geography and how these are mobilized and de- and recontextualized when they travel beyond their origins. However, it does not focus on the period of Anglophone hegemony but intends to shed a new, historically informed light on the politics of geographical knowledge production. Against this backdrop, we study why, how and with what consequences German geographical knowledge traveled to Argentina in the 1940s - the end of the "German hegemony" - following the employment by the National University of Tucumán (UNT) of the four German geography professors Wilhelm Rohmeder, Gustav Fochler-Hauke, Fritz Machatschek and Willi Czajka, all of whom had been institutionally and ideologically entwined with National Socialism. Firstly, we show that the epistemic differences between "national" schools of geographical thought - skillfully juggled by the geographers we analyze here - can provide an opportunity for the successful de- and recontextualization of theory. Secondly, we argue that boundary spanning and the traveling of theory beyond their geographical origins - largely (implicitly) viewed as progressive - should always be put in context(s) and assessed more cautiously from a normative point of view.
