State Subsidies in the Global Economy - by N Zahariadis (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Using figures from European Union members, the volume highlights the conditional effects of globalization, asset specificity, and domestic institutions. Far from being impotent, democratic states face politically powerful pressures to continue to shield social actors from the vagaries of the global market.
