Globalisation as "Global Rule Making"

01.02.2004 - 01.03.2007
Forschungsförderungsprojekt
The study is to focus on the strategies of USA and EU as the central state actors on the one hand and on their emerging group of opposing medium powers in the Third World on the other hand. We have selected China, India, Brazil, South Africa and Turkey as case studies for the second group. Their similarity consists of their status as regional medium powers. However, they display significant dif-ferences in their regional strategies. Brazil and South Africa are the core powers of regional blocs whereas China and India regionally stand alone. Turkey is militarily integrated into NATO and seeks accession to EU. These differences do impact on the possible arenas of negotiation (WTO, regional blocs, bilateral negotiations) and strategies of global rule making. The global rule making strategies are to be disussed in the context of the respective development strategies and the constellation of economic and political interests emerging from them. Thus, rele-vant interest groups in civil society (business associations, trade unions, national NGOs, regional and global NGO alliances etc.) are to identified and are to be related to the process of policy formulation and strategies of global rule making.
