Taking back control? : States and state systems after globalism

Streeck, Wolfgang 1946- (author.). Fowkes, Ben, (translator.). Ratz, Joshua, (translator.).

Summary: "Taking Back Control? examines the ongoing tug-of-war between the forces of globalism and democracy, of centralization and decentralization, and unification and differentiation of states and state systems, and how they are tied to the advance of global capitalism and the prospects for its social and democratic regulation. Exploring the possibility for states and the societies they govern to take back control over their collective fate, the book is an attempt at a renewed theory of the state in political economy. Inspired by the work of Karl Polanyi and John Maynard Keynes, it discusses the potential outlines of a state system allowing for democratic governance within and peaceful cooperation between sovereign nation-states."--
