In: Millennium: journal of international studies, Band 24, Heft 3, S. 447-470

Abstract

THE AUTHORS EXPLORE THE TWO-WAY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GLOBALIZATION AND INEQUALITY. THEY DISCUSS HOW AND WHY LIBERALS IGNORE OR DOWNPLAY INEQUALITY AND ARGUE THAT GLOBALIZATION CAN ONLY BE UNDERSTOOD BY INVESTIGATING SUCH FACTORS AS STATE STRENGTH, THE POWER RELATIONS UNDERPINNING INSTITUTIONS, THE SOURCES OF VALUES AND NORMS, THE RULES OF INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY, AND THE POWER POLITICS OF THE SUPPOSED TRANSNATIONAL CIVIL SOCIETY.
