CRISIS IN THE WEST AND THE EAST KARTONIERT (TB)

At the end of the 90s and the start of the new millennium  globalisation was the main buzzword
in the social sciences  nowadays  however  this role has been taken over by governance. So much
so in fact that the term has earned considerable credit outside of the academia  and has become
the topic of heated discussions in public debates as well. Globalisation and governance are 
nevertheless  not independent from each other. It is a pity that a full-blown crisis  such as
the global financial and economic crisis of 2007-2008  was needed to make it painfully evident
that the success of globalisation and the design of good governance mutually presuppose one
another  one cannot exist without the other. As globalization exists simultaneously on the
global  regional and national levels  the same can be said of governance as well. Consequently
this volume focuses on each of these highly interdependent levels and gives a critical account
of economic globalization and governance. István Benczes is an Associate Professor at the
