Reseña del editor:

The process of globalization is now the most important factor in world politics. The current world order is ending but as yet there is no clear replacement for it. Teach Yourself Globalization is an accessible and objective guide to this complex and all-important process. It focuses not only on the economic implications of globalization but also on the social, cultural and political consequences of this process. Globalization cannot be reversed. This book considers how we came to be in the position we find ourselves in now and how our world today differs from that in the last century. It focuses on the three main 'powers' in our world today - co-operative, corporate and people power before addressing arguments for and against this process.Throughout, real-life examples are used to ensure that this book is not purely theoretical but also brings the issues and arguments to life. It concludes with a section on where we go from here, since we will be living with globalization for a long time to come, we need to be sure that it is worth living with. Keith Suter is an internationally renowned social and economic commentator, writer and broadcaster. His style and the real-life examples will ensure you gain essential insight into this fascinating process.
