Summary:
How does globalization change national economies and politics? Are
rising levels of trade, capital flows, new communication
technologies, and deregulation forcing all societies to converge
toward the same structures of production and distribution? Suzanne
Berger and Ronald Dore have brought together a distinguished group of
experts to consider how the international economy shapes and
transforms domestic structures. Drawing from experience in the United
States, Europe, and Asia, the contributors ask whether competition,
imitation, diffusion of best practice, trade, and financial flows are
reducing national diversities. The authors seek to understand whether
the sources of national political autonomy are undermined by changes
in the international system. Can distinctive varieties of capitalism
that incorporate unique and valued institutions for achieving social
welfare survive in a global economy? The contributions to the volume
present a challenge to conventional views on the extent and scope of
globalization as well as to predictions of the imminent disappearance
of the nation state's leverage over the economy.
