The closing issue of 2018 traces how global forces meet local and national politics. Jessica Neafie finds that foreign direct investment can reduce access to clean water in developing countries, as foreign investors use and pollute a shared public good. Paola Imperatore follows local campaigns against infrastructure projects in Italy and shows how activists dismissed as NIMBYs connect their struggles to wider, global critiques.

Adil Nussipov explains why international organizations with middling authority open their policy processes to transnational actors more than those with high or low authority. Fiammetta Colombo examines how economic globalization and the 2008 crisis fed the rise of nationalism in the Western Balkans.
