'This is an excellent book and one that represents a significant contribution to the existing literature.' - Nana K. Poku, University of Bradford, UK

'John Glenn makes a valuable contribution to the third wave of globalization studies. With a particular focus on the position of the South his work presents significant challenges to the orthodoxies of both sceptics and advocates of globalization alike. It therefore deserves to be widely read.' - Professor Tony McGrew, Professor of International Relations and Head of the School of Social Sciences, University of Southampton, UK This is an excellent book and one that represents a significant contribution to the existing literature. The author questions the meaning and extent of globalization and identifies a range of problems and issues which shape the destinies of different states and societies in the contemporary world. This includes the structural inequalities inherent in contemporary north-south relations, the development of a global economy, patterns of trade and investment, the role of institutions and the debate surrounding governance in the modern world. The result is a subtle and sophisticated account of global processes and dynamics. It deserves to be widely read.
