Globalization is also attacked for forcing convergence of state institutions and policies and threatening the ability of societies to chart their own democratically determined courses. In Governance in a Global Economy  Miles Kahler and David Lake assemble the contributions of seventeen leading scholars who have systematically investigated how global economic integration produces changes of governance. These authors conclude that globalization has created a new and intricate fabric of governance  but one that fails to match the stark portrait of beleaguered states.  Exploring changes in governance across several policy areas (such as tourism  trade  finance  and fiscal and monetary policy)  the authors demonstrate that globalization changes the policy preferences of some actors  increases the bargaining power of others  and opens new institutional options for yet others. By reintroducing agency and choice into our understanding of globalization  this book provides important new insights into the complex and contingent effects of globalization on political authority and governance.
