Abstract

This book provides a series of inter-disciplinary perspectives on how capitalism and national capitalisms are changing in the twenty-first century. It aims to bring perspectives on how the international economic order is changing as a result of the rise of emerging economies countries, the increasing influence of regional organizations such as the EU, NAFTA etc. and new forms of private and public international regulation together with analyses of how states are adapting their economic policies and processes and what the consequences of these are for adaptations for different societies. In turn, it links these changes to how firms are developing new strategies for organizing global value chains and applying scientific knowledge to the commercialization of products. The book contextualizes these processes in a world where financial markets have become increasingly uncertain and crisis prone at the same time as demands from different social groups for new forms of corporate governance and corporate social responsibility are emerging. It draws on examples from Europe, North and Latin America as well as Asia in order to illustrate the complex ways in which different forms of national capitalism are adapting and changing their institutions. The book builds on earlier comparative accounts of how institutions, firms, and markets co-devolve to analyze current changes in these relationships and suggest likely developments in them, and in this way move the frontiers of research forward to a global and inter-disciplinary perspective on twenty-first century capitalism and capitalisms.
