Opis

The globalization of the economy has become an irreversible, universally dominant trend. Industrialized and developing nations as well as countries in transformation have to face the challenge of building internationally competitive economic structures. One-sidedly liberalist economic policies do not lead to the emergence of systemic competitiveness. What is called for are active development strategies. But how are they to be implemented, and what is the state of the political governance capacity of societies in the context of the new world economy?

"Messner"s book is an excellent monograph and surely presents a highly valuable theoretical innovation within the network debate and shows interesting links with broader issues in social theory.
