Reviews
'Timothy Hellwig draws several new and fascinating implications from his pioneering argument that globalization reduces the propensity of an electorate to reward and punish incumbent politicians for the state of the domestic economy. Here, we have a convincing explanation for the reorientation of domestic political competition around noneconomic issues in Western democracies: globalization crowds out contestation over economic policy. This is the rare work that will attract interest from both voting behavior scholars and political economists.' Andy Baker, University of Colorado, Boulder 'Economic globalization doesn't so much constrain democracy as transform it, shifting the locus of politics from economic to more noneconomic issues of voter and policy maker contestation. This is the central, controversial message of Hellwig's important book, which promises to be seminal in debates on the future of democratic politics in our globalization age.' Brian Burgoon, University of Amsterdam
