The State After Starism.
This Book Assesses The Changing Nature Of State Intervention In The Economies Of The Affluent Demmocracies.
Against A Widespread Understanding That Contemporary Developments, Such As Globalization And New Technologies, Are Pressing For A Rollback Of State Regulation In The System, The Book Shows That These Same Forces Are Also Creating Repaired Demands And Opportunities According to State Intervention.
Thus, State Activism Has Shifted, Rather Than Simply Eroded.
State Authorities Have Shifted From A Mark3t-steering Oriebtation To A Market-supporting One.
Chief Among The New Syate Missions Are: Repairing The Main Varieties Of Capitalism (liberal, Corporatist, And Statist); Making Labor Markets And Systems Of Social Protection More Employment-friendly; Recasting Regulatory Frameworks To Permit Countries To Cross Major Economic Amd Technological Divides; And Expanding Markte Competition At Home And Abroad.
Because The Changes From Market Steering T0 Market Support Are So Controversial And Far-reaching, State Officiala Often Find Themselves Making Choices That Produce Clear Winners And Losers.
Such Choices Require A Capacity To Act Unilaterally And Decisively, Even In The Face Of Substantial Societal Opposition.
As A Result, State Activism, Autonomy, And Occasionally Imposition Remain Essential For Meeting The Challenges Of Today's Globalizing Ecobomy.
