The Market or the Public Domain: Redrawing the Line

Overview

"""Between the Market and the Public Domain"" examines the powerful idea of the return, reconstitution and redeployment of the public domain in a post-Seattle and post-Washington consensus world order. Increasingly as the future prospects of market fundamentalism are troubled, the zero inflation, global free trade beliefs of the Washington consensus face a doubting chorus of professional experts and highly articulate critics from a civil society about the policy processes that occur outside the reach of the present nation state. Since the 1980s, countries have focused on broadening and guaranteeing market as access and as the pendulum has begun to swing back for the market, the issue of investing in the public domain becomes a priority. The authors of this volume believe that devising new institutions of governance for a globalizing world requires fundamental change nationally and internationally. They argue that new public spaces, places and services are required to strengthen democracy and create sanctuaries in society where the market mechanism cannot reach. The public domain is an incipient concept that enables states to reduce the intrusiveness of markets and at the same time develop a strong national performance to reduce the inequality and social exclusion in an increasingly volatile global economy. This volume includes contributors such as: Amitav Acharya, Harry Arthurs, Richard Devetak, Kyle Grayson, Richard Higgott, Robin Hodess, Inge Kaul, George Kell, David Marquand, Sol Piccotto, Simon Reich, Marcia Rioux, Alisdair Roberts, John Ruggie, Keith Stewart, Geoffrey Underhill and Ezra Zubrow. It should appeal to advanced students, academics and policy makers involved in the field of global governance and international political economy."
