Networks In International Economic Integration: Fragmented States And The Dilemmas Of Neo-Liberalism, Sol Picciotto
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Current discussions of "globalization" afford an opportunity to. reflect on the development of the modern international system and its governance as well as to evaluate prospects and strategies for the fu- ture. However, the term "globalization" is ambiguous.
