Analyzes how increases in international trade, finance, and production have altered voter decisions, political party positions, and the issues that parties focus on in postindustrial democracies.

Recenzje

'Economic globalization doesn't so much constrain democracy as transform it, shifting the locus of politics from economic to more noneconomic issues of voter and policy maker contestation. This is the central, controversial message of Hellwig's important book, which promises to be seminal in debates on the future of democratic politics in our globalization age.' Brian Burgoon, University of Amsterdam
