Global Strategic Engagement : States and Non-State Actors in Global Governance

Global Strategic Engagement analyzes the changes brought about in global politics by the phenomenon of globalization in the last thirty years. The primary point of view of the text is the micro-perspective of the new practitioners of global governance: international public officers, transnational activists, global entrepreneurs, and world leaders. The novelty of the book derives from its two outputs: a micro description of the new way of playing the political game in the age of globalization, and a constructivist mapping of the current political terrain which is centered on the identification of the new references of contemporary politics beyond the traditional cleavage left vs. right. This book examines strategies to navigate today's global politics. It analyzes how the context is changing, the new actors playing within it, and the processes and mechanisms that they need to take into account in formulating their global strategies.
