Globalization, heralded for decades as a harbinger of prosperity,
faces a huge backlash. Derided by right-wing nationalists as a
'globalist' plot to undermine traditional communities, and by
left-wing critics as the rule of rampaging corporations, it's
become a political punching bag around the world. In this incisive
book, leading commentator Colin Crouch defends globalization
against its critics to the right and left. He argues that reversing
the process would mean a poorer world riven by nationalistic and
reactionary antagonisms. However, globalization will only be worth
saving if we institute reforms to promote social solidarity and
recover pride and confidence for the cities and regions that have
lost out. Crouch shows that we can therefore only save
globalization from itself if we transcend the nation state and
subject global economic flows to democratically responsible
transnational governance. Crouch provides a much-needed riposte to
the delusions that risk plunging the world back into a zero-sum
game of regressive economic nationalism, combining cool-headed
analysis with a visionary call for a reformed and genuinely
progressive globalization.
