Challenges of Globalisation


About the Series

This series seeks to make systematic contributions to international debates over two intimately related issues:

  • The values that should inform the governance of modern states and the globalizing world in which they are increasingly enmeshed, in particular whether the liberal democratic values that sought to civilize the sovereign state need to be reconceived as global values.
  • The institutions that are needed to realize those values, be they local, national, regional, international, transnational or global.
