Reviews

This is a fascinating study of two very different economies and their domestic responses to globalization. It contrasts the largely apolitical debate in Ireland - with a population enjoying such absolute gains that few thought of winners and losers - with the more politicised response in Greece, with its confrontational, fragmented and particularistic pattern of interest representation. The comparison will appeal to those endeavouring to understand the politics of globalisation and to those interested in comparative institutional analysis. At the same time, the book offers a framework by which we can understand how a discourse on globalisation can become 'hegemonic'. Antoniades displays a command of diverse literatures and an impressive ability to synthesise them to good effect. Professor Kevin Featherstone, London School of Economics and Political Science
