Globalization and the future of the state
Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
The World Turned Upside Down? by R. Jones critically examines the claim that modern globalization has diminished the role of the state in global affairs irreversibly. It offers clear definitions of key concepts such as globalization, internationalization, and international interdependence. The book compares late 20th-century developments with earlier historical periods, especially the late 19th and early 20th centuries, while exploring the enduring importance of the state for human well-being. Central to the study is the challenge that current global trends pose to the modern state's role and capacity.
