Globalization versus Community: Stakeholding, Communitarianism and the Challenge of Globalization

  • Chapter
Globalization and the Politics of Resistance

Part of the book series: International Political Economy Series ((IPES))

Abstract

Globalization, as a condition or a set of processes, now attracts considerable attention from academics, journalists and politicians. A similar level of attention has also been directed to a set of critical issues concerning economic vitality, employment and social cohesion within many of the established industrialized societies and is reflected in the work of stakeholding theorists and social cornmunitarians. These two areas of concern are intimately interrelated, but often treated separately in popular debate and discussion.1
