Regulating International Business

'The authors offer a timely and important contribution to the debate on global governance and the role of international business.' - Jane Nelson, Director, Policy and Research, The Prince of Wales Business Leaders Forum

'The contributors to this forward-looking volume offer much insight into why regulating international business and foreign direct investment flows increasingly will be front and centre of the public's agenda. Policy-makers and an informed public have to realize that the old ways of thinking about globalization no longer are adequate. The authors explain in an innovative but realistic way how the rules and institutions governing the global economy have to be rethought and a new global order fashioned.' - Daniel Drache, Professor of Political Economy, York University, Toronto, Canada

'Blanket liberalization - a belief in the ability of the market to 'deliver' - is clearly now being called into question. This stimulating book, coming as it does after the MAI debacle, is very welcome and will add a great deal to the arguments we will have to make for a regulatory framework capable of dealing with the issues posed by the impact of globalization.' - Glenys Kinnock, MEP

'An excellent, though critical, response to the MAI...contains innovative solutions to some major problems generated by globablization...[and] many useful insights couched in non-technical prose, on differing approaches to the problem of restraining the more pernicious aspects of a global economy.' - Times Literary Supplement

'Regulating International Business does contain many useful insights, couched in non-technical prose, on differing approaches to the problem of restraining the more pernicious aspects of a global economy.' - Julian Mitchell, Times Literary Supplement
