Summary

Multilevel governance and neo-liberalization

Part III highlights how the neo-liberal project of extending new constitutionalism has not simply resulted in the decline of the significance of the state but rather its transformation, a shift that is linked to a more general global redefinition of politics and multilevel governance. The main themes of Part III consist of:

  1. The need to go beyond conventional understandings of the ‘global’ and the ‘national’ as rel ecting opposed political logics under conditions of neo-liberal globalization and the new constitutionalism.

  2. How this allows for an exploration of the shifting forms and roles of the state, including the privatization of norm-making authority, in ‘new geographies of power’.

  3. The ‘variegated’ development of neo-liberalizing market-disciplining ‘rule-regimes’.

  4. The centralization and decentralization of policy capabilities in the neo-liberal projects for federalism and multilateral governance, operating at local, national, regional and global levels.
