Reviews

This book belongs to a growing current of work which questions some of the more sweeping claims made by some writers on globalisation. The treatment is original, and the perspective an important one in the academic debate. This is a valuable and well-researched study which should quickly establish itself within the IPE literature.' -- Andrew Gamble, University of Sheffield.
