The Synchronization of National Policies (eBook, ePUB)

Ethnography of the Global Tribe of Moderns

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Synchronization of National Policies makes a contribution to current understanding on how national policies are synchronized with each other. Unlike mainstream research that treats international organizations as the creators of such global governance, this book underlines the role of local actors. The book shows how actors in nation states justify policy decisions by international comparisons and by the policies of other countries.
