Cet ouvrage en anglais fait suite à des débats engagés au cours d'une table ronde sur la mondialisation, organisée à Québec en 1998 par l'International Political Science Association. Les différentes contributions qu'il regroupe se répartissent entre trois sections. La première s'interroge sur le statut théorique de la mondialisation et sur les rapports des États au capitalisme mondial et aux sociétés transnationales ; on y rappelle, entre autres, que les mêmes qui font pression pour réduire le rôle de l'État (démantèlement de l'État-providence, déréglementation et privatisation) exigent en même temps une intervention étatique accrue en d'autres domaines (contrôles sociaux plus efficaces).

The second section analyses various cases of adaptation of the nation-state to the new context of globalization, whether they are cases of integration (such as German reunification) or disintegration (such as the division of Czechoslovakia). The third section, finally,…
