The problems and issues arising from globalization are difficult
to resolve, in part because our ways of conceptualizing the
conflicts and responding to them are inadequate. This book fills
this gap, conceiving of globalization as a consequence of economic,
political, technological, scientific, and cultural changes. A.
Pablo Iannone provides a taxonomy of globalization processes,
investigates the consequences of each, and formulates a
comprehensive approach for dealing with them.
While his emphasis is philosophical, this is not a
single-discipline book. Rather, it belongs at the intersection of
philosophy, economics, political science, and technology. Its
discussions address issues concerning globalization and correlate
the processes of fragmentation and dislocation in a realistic
manner.
Iannone focuses on concrete and current cases, from the global
economic and financial issues posed by the multi-centered nature of
contemporary business and technology, through the pressures of ever
increasing information overload across the planet. He explores the
environmental and social challenges associated with current
Amazonian development and its significance to weather patterns on
Earth. He considers the issues surrounding the use of robots in war
from Pakistan through Mexico, and the militarization of space. In
short, the approach, while based on theoretical concerns, is
solidly grounded in highly practical applications, which are global
in their implications.
