Six Faces of Globalization
Who Wins, Who Loses, and
Why It Matters
An “indispensable guide” to the intractable debates about economic globalization, revealing the fault lines that divide us and the points of agreement that might bring us together. Heralded by commentators as “the book the world needs to read now,” Six Faces guides us through competing narratives about the virtues and vices of globalization. Instead of picking sides, it provides a holistic framework for understanding current debates and offers a more integrative way of thinking about complex global problems.

Comparative International Law
Comparative International Law
While in theory international law applies to all states equally, at times states adopt different interpretations of the same international norms and standards. International legal rules are subject to ongoing contestation in which states set forth competing interpretations; international norms are interpreted and redefined by national executives, legislatures, and judiciaries. These varying and evolving interpretations can, in turn, change and affect the international rules themselves. These similarities and differences make for an important object of comparison and what the editors call “comparative international law.”
