'Globalization' is one of the key concepts of our time. It is used by both the right and the left as the cornerstone of their analysis of the international economy and polity. In both political and academic discussions, the assumption is commonly made that the process of economic globalization is well under way and that this represents a qualitatively new stage in the development of international capitalism. But is there in fact such a thing as a genuinely global economy? Globalization in Question investigates this notion, providing a very different account of the international economy and stressing the possibilities for its continued and extended governance. The new edition of this best-selling text has been thoroughly revised and updated to take into account new issues which have become salient in the period since the first and second editions were published. Several new chapters have
Summary: "In recent years, a large number of theoretical models have been developed to try and make sense of today's complex global society. This text identifies eight distinct models of global studies, such as Americanization, Homogenization, Balkanization and Creolization, enabling the reader to make sense of the full range of global issues and contending views on the existing world order. Within each module, present theoretical literature and key current issues are addressed with boxed case studies. Paying particular attention to human rights, the book provides students with the theoretical grounding and practical knowledge necessary for an understanding of globalization. This book explains the challenges and redefines the core theories of globalization. Using fascinating case studies to illustrate how each model works in practice, the chapters look at society, culture, politics and e
Den engelske samfundsteoretiker påviser, at ideerne om globaliseringen af økonomien ikke er en hindring for udbygning af demokratiet gennem styrkelse af det civile samfund, hvis frivillige, men offentligt finansierede foreninger og organisationer, overtager magt- og styringsfunktioner Titel: Globalisering, demokrati og det civile samfund Forlag: Hans Reitzel Udgivelsesår: 1997 Sider: 187 Sprog: Dansk
The putative new world order, when viewed from different regions of the globe, is not really new, is hardly global in scope, and is anything but orderly in its development. In this volume, an international cast of contributors comes together to share regional perspectives on questions about peace and security, economic growth and welfare, and democracy and civil society in the post–Cold War world. They find that there has been “uneven globalization” with strong “regional variation”—two important concepts that this book brings to theory-building beyond the rhetoric of new world order thinking. An ideal supplement for many courses in international relations, Whose World Order? transcends the typically Eurocentric view projected in most textbooks, combining theory and practical evidence from the different regions in innovative applications and analyses. The contributors to this volume share

Aesthetics and Politics Under the Sign of Globalisation The universe is expanding, the world has gone global, and the US has launched a crusade to export the universal right to democracy to every part of the world. Under the circumstances, it is hardly surprising that the concept of universality is making a remarkable comeback in aesthetic and political theory. The meaning of the world, however, seems more contested than ever. Some denounce it as the ideological guise of particular interests, others as the conceptual equivalent of totalitarianism. But a growing number maintain that universality is an indispensable notion for any genuinely critical aesthetics and politics. Confronting Universalites consists of 12 contributors that examine how contemporary works of art in different media and genres influence, shape, or confront the political realm in both theory and practice by way of the
