Challenges the current trend toward globalization and privatization by questioning whether markets can be the key mechanism in governing modern society, the future for the nation- state in an increasingly dependent and borderless world, and whether a global free-for-all in trade is the best means to promote international cooperation and strong economic performance. The 19 papers cover the nature and extent of globalization, the limits of Japanese power, the erosion of national sovereignty in finance and trade, labor, the strategic dilemma for policy-makers, and new politics in an uncertain world. Requires only a limited knowledge of economics. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
