Summary

Taking as a starting point that the much discussed concept of 'globalization' is happening, the distinguished contributors to this collection of essays examine the difficult relationship between 'globalization' and 'public governance'. They argue that there are important transnational and supra-national elements of a new public order, which remain, however, beyond the traditional borders of state (but not beyond the state as such), while new organizations and institutions are brought to bear on economic processes which impose a legal and political structure on global and economic processes.
