Title: powerless state?
Product review: the author¡s argument move away vague, impressionistic and general arguments about the supposed powerless state which globalization is meant to have induced. However, the concept of state capacity in his book is so vague that will weaken his argument. On the other hand, the states that the author select to support his conclusion cannot represent all the states in world. With the development of globalization, the capacity of multinational corporations is obviously more and more stronger than small states in the world. In Asian financial crisis, some individuals can destroy a nation¡s economy and make is backward about 20 years. From this point, the state become more and more powerless instead of what Weiss think in this book.
