Book Information

This book explores and analyzes how liberal global governance is really affecting ordinary people and how this can be both an opportunity and an obstacle to development, citizenship, voice and inclusion. To demonstrate this, case studies represent some of the most marginalized groups of people in Asia and Latin America: children and foreign workers. By taking a 'bottom-up' perspective, this study marks a shift from a vision of liberal global governance as a way to manage ordinary people, to one that posits global governance as a potential opportunity structure for political activism as well as a space of regulation.
