Neoliberal globalisation is understood to have a corrosive effect on the state. Reductions in economic regulatory capacities combined with an ideological attack on the public necessity of social spending has left many with the impression that the state is a weakened institution, at best. This book argues that global capitalism actually requires state institutional authority, but the legitimation of this authority is increasingly tied to cultural rather than economic means. Canada and Quebec are presented examples of how neoliberal states achieve integration.
Cory Blad Ph.D. (2006) in Sociology, University of Tennessee, is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Manhattan College. His research focuses on the nexus of neoliberalism and cultural politics with particular emphasis on the role of state institutions.
