The Decline of Politics: Governance, Globalization and the Public Sphere, Peter Marden, Aldershot: Ashgate, 2003, pp. xvi, 286

Here is a book that takes readers above and beyond the usual one-dimensional approach to globalization, all too often couched in economics, with which we have become familiar of late. Marden's Decline of Politics will reward those readers who are looking for a multifaceted analysis of global trends, and will intrigue and challenge those who believe that they already understand them.
