A Middle Ground between Global and Local Levels of Analysis

Chapter 2 in Localizing Global Finance: The Rise of Western-Style Private Equity in China, 2015, pp 9-15 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One of the primary contributions of the monograph is presenting middle grounds in the study of the political economy of emerging markets. Chapter 2 begins this process theoretically by opening up space between analyses based almost entirely on domestic factors and analyses, at the other end, which are overly global/international in nature. The work of Cerny, Ravenhill, Rosenau, Sassen and Soederberg is drawn upon. The role of bilateral activists in environmental politics is introduced as a comparison point. The chapter argues that the focal point of analysis should shift from public to private actors, while still emphasizing global influences in the domestic political economy.
