Reviews for The Deepening Crisis: Governance Challenges after Neoliberalism

"Calhoun and Derluguians edited collection is the second volume of a two-part series that interrogates how the financial crisis exacerbated problems in regimes of global governance. Chief among the editors considerations is how the crisis threatens to & derail action on environmental concerns (p. 7). Leading the inquiry is the questions: will states work to create international regulatory systems as ... Read morea framework for a new world order, or will they be locked into new patterns of global conflict? Contributors to The Deepening Crisis: Governance Challenges After Neoliberalism fashion responses by taking to task the nature of governance in the context of ecological politics, religion, ethnicity, offshoring, the European Union, and media piracy."
Critical Sociology
"A group of distinguished social scientists tackle some of the central governance challenges produced by the recent economic, political, and social crises. The topics they address—such as the environment, religion, nationalism, war, and the prospects for global governance—are essential to understanding the contemporary world."
Arne L. Kalleberg,author of Good Jobs, Bad Jobs: The Rise of Polarized and Precarious Employment Systems in the Uni "The nation state has been at the institutional heart of the last 200 years as it defined our economic and political lives. It is, however, an insufficient platform from which to face the challenges of the 21st Century. This excellent book provides a very useful schema with which to consider both the limits of our current institutions and the possible shape of their successors. I recommend it to scholars, policy makers, and anyone worried about the next crisis."
Miguel Angel Centeno,Author of Global Capitalism: A Sociological Approach "This volume unravels a complex web of connections around the current financial and economic crisis. Among its revelations are: the difficulty of a renewed Keynesian solution because of the gridlock of weak national and transnational institutions with inadequate authority and oversight; the irony that cap-and-trade solutions to environmental issues rely on the same bankers and traders at the core of the financial crisis; and the maneuvers of offshore capitalism in evading state regulation by instant electronic financial transfers under flags of convenience. This work peels back the skin of a rather sinister global beast."
