Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Review from previous edition 'Highly illuminating...Sklair's volume is a concise and precise treatment of a gigantic topic, the global system.' (Social Science Quarterly)

'Superbly organized...Beginning students will be able to use this book and its bibliography as a window on and guide to the emergence of global capitalism' (Contemporary Sociology)

Reseña del editor:

Capitalist globalization has been instrumental in globalizing civil and political rights all over the world as a condition of 'free' markets and trade, but capitalist globalizers have no answer to the rapidly accelerating demands for universal economics and social rights, expressed in the enormous growth of local, national, multinational and global NGOs and anti-globalization movements.

In this book, based on his highly successful Sociology of the Global System, Leslie Sklair focuses on alternatives to global capitalism, arguing strongly that there are other alternative futures that retain and encourage the positive aspects of globalization whilst identifying what is wrong with capitalism.

The negative aspects of capitalist globalization are explored in a new critique which argues that there are two main crises of capitalist globalization: the class polarization crisis and the crisis of ecological unsustainability. The book also presents a new analysis of a long-term alternative to global capitalism: the globalization of human rights.
