Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Is globalization being overshadowed by a resurgence of geopolitics? Does the war on terror signify the end of globalization or a shift towards militarized globalization? This second edition critically examines claims that dismiss the ongoing relevance of globalization through a thorough analysis of contemporary global trends. In the wake of 9/11 and the Iraq war, many have declared globalization's demise; however, Held and McGrew contend that such conclusions are premature. They investigate key structures of world order, including governance, organized violence, economic dynamics, cultural exchanges, and environmental issues, while also addressing patterns of inequality, exclusion, and domination. The authors advocate for recognizing globalization as both a description and explanation of our current global landscape. They pose essential questions about the potential to tame globalization and explore the desirability and feasibility of a more just and stable world order. Additionally, they propose an ethical and political agenda for the twenty-first century, envisioning a global covenant of cosmopolitan social democracy. This updated edition features three new chapters and is designed for those intrigued or perplexed by the ongoing debate surrounding globalization and its implications for the future world order.
