market-place, a risk society, a world beyond the security of states, an unstoppable, quasi-natural force of global transformation. Yet, as the East Asian crisis turned into a global international financial scare, some who might be thought to be deep inside the belly of this beast, the big operators on the ‘global financial markets’, wondered whether globalisation might be in its death agony.
