thanks for that... i am still working on these issues. as for mechanisms, i am considering the WTO as a "mechanism" for managing the global economy (See Hirst and Thompson 2000 p 191)...
 
yeah, i sent that message off too quickly... while I am looking at the social and historical forces that shaped the institutions of global governance, i am considering THEM as mechanisms.
 
indeed part of my critique of neo-classical economics is the reification tendency. to repeat, no conclusions or firm decisions, yet - just having fun with this under-labourer.
