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.
