Abstract
A central theme of this volume is that the capitalist world economy and a dominant liberal ideology provide the context for processes of globalization. While international relations scholars and political theorists have come to recognize these processes only in the last ten years, in retrospect they can be traced back considerably further. One example of the early signs of globalization is the attempt to legitimate a set of internationally recognised human rights norms, begun at the end of the Second World War.
