Transforming the Golden-Age Nation State - Paperback

by A. Hurrelmann (Editor), S. Leibfried (Editor), K. Martens (Editor)

This collection examines the transformation of the modern Western state in an age of accelerated globalization. Arguing that the state experienced a 'golden age' in the 1960s and 1970s, the contributors explore how and why this configuration of the state is under pressure in the 21st century.
