Global Futures: Shaping Globalization - Hardcover
This book rejects a fatalistic stance in the face of the problems that accelerating globalization is throwing up. The contributors argue that humanity must seek to shape globalization. In a sequence of tightly argued essays, they suggest a variety of innovative perspectives, changes, policies, and institutional reforms that we ought to strive for in our increasingly inter-connected world. The exciting range of topics discussed include global governance and democratization; international finance and reform of the world economy; Third World development; the environment; the position of women; poverty and social exclusion; technology and culture; and the future shape of urban growth.
