The author offers challenging redefinitions of key concepts and every section contains a wealth of insights, new arguments and interesting linkages. A key part of the overall argument is Laïdi's contrast between the approaches of the European Union and the United States to globalization and its governance and the problems and contradictions of each approach. The analysis is always nuanced, sensitive to institutional differences, aware of hierarchies of power and different positions in global divisions of labour, and committed to the search for alternatives to the current structures of globalization and their consequences.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBob Jessop\u003ci\u003e, Lancaster University\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction.
