CSGR Working Paper No. 08/98

July 1998

 

Abstract

 

This paper critically examines attempts to revitalize the comparative political economy model in contrast to analyses based on a globalization perspective. The organized market economy approach of Peter Hall is seen as a more inviting version of the CPE model.

The political dilemmas facing national governments in an era of globalization are examined through a discussion of the economic policies of the Blair Government in Britain.

 

Keywords: Globalization, European Union, Blair Government
