The field of global trade: IGOs, NGOs and transnational corporations 3. The principles of global trade: The World Trade Organization 4. Development and inequality under the regime of free trade: What do we know? 5. Global labour division, development and inequality; with Christian Dressel 6. Conclusion: Development and inequality in world societyReviewsContributions that utilize classical and modern sociological theory are still a rare breed within the burgeoning literature on development and global inequality. In this groundbreaking book, Richard Munch builds on Durkheim's classical approach for the sociological exploration of a global division of labour. Going beyond the usual confines of international political economy, he forcefully demonstrates what it means to think about development and inequality within the broader social context of a world society. - Mathias Albert, Universitat Bielefeld, Germany In this path-breaking book Richard Munch reconfirms his status as one of the world's leading comparativists and globalization scholars. Masterfully supplementing Durkheimian with Marxian ideas, he identifies capital as the driving force toward increasingly porous national boundaries. He further demonstrates, in refreshingly differentiated analyses, consequences for development and inequality at country and individual levels. He explains them by taking seriously global organizational actors, the fields of power in which they are embedded, and the institutions to which their negotiations over valid rules of the global game contribute. Munch thus seriously advances debates over globalization. - Joachim J.
