ABSTRACT
Globalization is too easily used to mean different things at the same time. For example, it is often thought to mean the convergence of economics and politics across borders into a single dominant model, a variant of liberal capitalism aligned with neoliberal politics. However, it can also indicate the growth of new forms of divergence – and, of course, the intersection of different forms of both convergence and divergence. These trends are symptomatic of the growing complexity of providing governance mechanisms in a globalized world (Cerny, 1996, 1999a).
