Summary:

Exploring the impact of globalization -- the increase in mobility of capital, goods, ideas, and people -- on governance structures in the modern European political economy, the contributors to this volume evaluate a set of propositions about the effects of globalization in the context of several significant empirical settings: corporate governance, ""sin regulation,"" regional economic development, fiscal reform, new equity markets, and legitimating discourse.
