Does the democratic nation state remain a legitimate regime form in the current age of globalization? This book uses a novel, analytical approach to probe this topical question, drawing on a comparative study of legitimation discourses in the media of four Western democracies (Switzerland, Germany, Britain, and the United States.)

Auch ökonomische Ordnungen können an Legitimität verlieren. Viele Beobachter erwarteten, dass mit der Finanzmarkt- und der Eurokrise die Marktwirtschaft in die Kritik geraten würde. Der Band zeigt in empirischen Analysen für vier Länder über 15 Jahre, wie sich die öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit und die Bewertung von Marktwirtschaft und Kapitalismus verändert haben. Ob die Marktwirtschaft in eine Legitimationskrise geraten ist oder ein andauerndes Unbehagen an der Ökonomie dominiert, wird in diesem Buch untersucht.

This Handbook offers a comprehensive treatment of transformations of the state, from its origins in different parts of the world and different time periods to its transformations since World War II in the advanced industrial countries, the post-Communist world, and the Global South. 0Leading experts in their fields, from Europe and North America, discuss conceptualizations and theories of the state and the transformations of the state in its engagement with a changing international environment as well as with changing domestic economic, social, and political challenges. The Handbook covers different types of states in the Global South (from failed to predatory, rentier and developmental), in different kinds of advanced industrial political economies (corporatist, statist, liberal, import substitution industrialization), and in various post-Communist countries (Russia, China, successor states to the USSR, and Eastern Europe). It also addresses crucial challenges in different areas of state intervention, from security to financial regulation, migration, welfare states, democratization and quality of democracy, ethno-nationalism, and human development. The volume makes a compelling case that far from losing its relevance in the face of globalization, the state remains a key actor in all areas of social and economic life, changing its areas of intervention, its modes of operation, and its structures in adaption to new international and domestic challenges.
