This is the first integrated account of citizen responses to the new global order.  Based on a comprehensive survey administered at the end of 2000 in nine European and nine Asian countries, it demonstrates the diverse responses to globalization, within, and between, two of the world's major - and most globally integrated - regions. 'Empirical studies of mass response to globalization are still lacking. This is especially true for systematic cross-national accounts. The volume edited by Marsh and Inoguchi fills this gap. It maps citizen attitudes in 9 Asian and 9 Western European countries, relying on the high quality ASIA-EUROPE SURVEY. Results show that a majority of citizens in the countries under study feel exposed to and talk about globalization - mostly in positive terms. However, this broadening of the focus of citizen attitudes does not affect the continuing importance of the nation state for attitude formation. Globalization broadens the context of citizens' experience; it does not replace the older contexts. Students and scholars pursuing the subject will greatly benefit from this volume.'
