Challenges of Globalization: New Trends in

Globalization has been the buzzword” in international political and academic discourse since the 1990s. If globalization’s dynamics are to be fully understood, a reasonable critique is to be formulated, and realistic political proposals to meet the challenges of globalization are to be developed, this complex phenomenon must be dissected. Challenges of Globalization brings together prominent authors of different national backgrounds. They look beyond the buzzword to provide a genuinely global” view of globalization. The editors’ introduction provides a roadmap” through the globalization debate and shows the connections between the different aspects covered in detail in the various contributions.
