<br/><br/> While accepting that globalization is here to stay, the distinguished contributors to this volume share a scepticism regarding the claims made about its supposed benefits. They believe instead that the present form of globalization is essentially unequal and marginalizing besides being environmentally destructive.<br/>Approaching the issues involved from a variety of theoretical and disciplinary perspectives, the contributors address a number of important questions concerning the current form of globalisation and its future course. These include:<br/><br/>- does globalization involve integration on a worldwide scale or will there be a levelling off or even a reversal?<br/><br/>- encouraged by market forces, will privatization and deregulation of economies increase or will there be a shift in direction or even a reaction?<br/><br/>- will globalization lead to a new world order?<br/><br/>- is there an alternative to globalization?<br/><br/>Overall, this multi-disciplinary volume explores the tensions and dilemmas inherent in globalization, from local, national and global perspectives.
