Description
Globalization demystifies the rhetoric surrounding one of the most hotly debated topics among scholars, commentators, and policymakers.
Presenting arguments for and against globalization, this brief text examines a wide range of views on the economic, political, cultural, and environmental dimensions of globalization and exposes their underlying frameworks, methodologies, and expectations. Throughout, Globalization compares rhetoric and reality and argues that there is no one way to understand this complex phenomenon.
