Globalization : Rules and Standards for the World Economy

This interdisciplinary study dissects the reality from the hype surrounding global integration - focusing on technology, emerging financial markets and multinational corporate behaviour. Outlining problems in international economic integration, Cable examines the weakness of government structures and the lack of a voice in the WTO for China, Russia and others. He concludes by detailing the conflicting pressures on global rule-making and advocates a possible future architecture of global regulation. The book covers the currency crisis in Southeast Asia and its consequences and ramifications.
