Globalization in Crisis (Paperback)

This book analyses the present global financial and economic crisis, the most severe in nearly a century, and a wider set of multiple and converging crises with aspects and repercussions that go well beyond the current economic climate. Written by some of the world's leading international scholars in the field of Globalization studies and related disciplines, this important collection addresses numerous key aspects of the relationship between Globalization and global crises, past, present, and future. It sheds new light and understanding on the concept and theory of Globalization and of 'crisis'. The authors explore such issues as global finance and financial regulation, neoliberal ideology and policy, the 'crisis of globalization', the decline of Western hegemony, world systemic crisis, the moral crisis of 'Western capitalism', environmental and climate change crises, world order, hyper-violence and the international system, a crisis of the 'global modern' and a global civilisational and hostpric crisis, the rise of the global South, the historical dialectics of capital and social responses to crisis, the future of capitalism and the prospects for transformative alternatives. This book was published as a special issue of Globalizations.
