Political Globalization - State, Power and Social Forces (Hardcover)

This work is a contribution to the theoretical and empirical analysis of globalization and political globalization in particular. Developing an analytical approach to political globalization centered on the uneven globalization of statehood in a societal perspective, Morten Ougaard employs this approach in empirical analysis of the global polity. Central themes are the emerging state function of persistence towards the increasingly integrated world society, relations of power between states and social forces and the prospects and realities of transnational class formation.
