Free (DRM-free PDF) The Nation-State in Transformation [Academic World Sociopolitics]

ATDrake · 03-03-2016, 12:37 PM

The Nation-State in Transformation: Economic Globalisation, Institutional Mediation and Political Values edited by Michael Böss, an associate professor and Director of the Canadian Studies Centre at Aarhus University in Denmark, is an academic anthology in the Match Points series of social sciences titles, on the theme of globalization with particular attention to the effects on local economies and democratic institutions, free courtesy of Aarhus University Press.

This is their featured English-language Free eBook of the Month selection for March and most of the case studies appear to be focused on Ireland and Denmark, if you happen to have a particular interest in those areas.

Currently free throughout the month of March directly @ the university's dedicated promo page (DRM-free PDF available worldwide), and you can see more about the book on its regular catalogue page as well.

Description
Globalisation is a challenge that creates both winners and losers. Until 2008 the small Northern European states were amongst the winners as they adjust well to rapid changes in the international political economy. These countries traditionally stay competitive by balancing open economies and flexible industrial policies within various forms of social partnerships and welfare systems. But what are the factors of their success, what is the significance of the state in a globalised economy, how do we explain the differentiated effects - and what has happened after the recent economic decline?

The Nation-State in Transformation seeks to answer questions like these and argues that globalisation transforms the nation-state. The small states serve as examples and points of reference for a more general discussion on current tendencies. Not only must we bring the state back in play and consider various growth and recovery strategies, we must also consider how history, culture and collective identities influence the performance of the nation-state in the new, globalised, world order.

Just a reminder that this will probably be the last day to pick up the freebie if you haven't already.
