About the lecture
This lecture will look beyond the familiar debate around the ‘rise of emergent powers’ and the ‘decline of the West’, to how globalisation is bringing about changes in relationships between states and citizens. It will examine how these changes, not all of a democratic nature, are affecting the way in which countries in poorer parts of the world are being governed. It will also look at how globalisation can lead both to more homogenised patterns of governance and to more diversity among states.
