In original essays, the contributors establish how the GreatRecession is related to crises of the past, and yet why this meltdownwas different. The volume concludes by asking whether the crisis despite its severity contains seeds of a new global economy, whatrole the US will play, and whether China or other countries will rise toglobal leadership.Volume II, The Deepening CrisisGovernance Challenges after NeoliberalismEdited by Craig Calhoun and Georgi DerluguianResponse to financial meltdown is entangled with basic challenges toglobal governance. Environment, global security, ethnicity andnationalism are all global issues today. Focusing on the political andsocial dimensions of the crisis, contributors examine changes inrelationships between the world's richer and poorer countries, effortsto strengthen global institutions, and dificulties facing states tryingto create stability for their citizens.Volume III, AftermathA New Global Economic Order?Edited by Craig Calhoun and Georgi DerluguianThe global financial crisis showed deep problems with mainstreameconomic predictions, as well as the vulnerability of the world'srichest countries and the enormous potential of some poorer ones. China,India, Brazil, and other counties are growing faster than Europe orAmerica and have weathered the crisis better. Is their growth due tofollowing conventional economic guidelines or to strong state leadershipand sometimes protectionism? These issues are basic to the question ofwhich countries will grow in comind decades, as well as the likelyconflicts over global trade policy, currency standards, and economiccooperation.
