Globalisation An Overview

Danilo Zolo maps out the main issues of "globalization," an important term that is all too often subject to rhetorical and ideological misuse. By analyzing the concepts involved and clarifying some of the theoretical issues, Zolo hopes to curb such misuse. The processes involved in globalization are highly complex and affect distinct social spheres, including the economy, mass communications, domestic and international affairs, ecology, law, and military strategy.

Danilo Zolo is professor of Philosophy of Law and Philosophy of International Law at the University of Florence
