"Debating Globalization" is a short, accessible introduction to the
debate about globalization written by many of the most prominent
figures in the field. Published by Polity in association with
openDemocracy, the book is notable not just for focusing on the
pressing difficulties facing our world, but also on solutions. Rich
and positive suggestions are made for reshaping globalization into
a force that will work for humans everywhere.
In an extended analysis, David Held provides a robust critique
of the present order and sets out his alternative vision. Building
on arguments he made in Global Covenant, he calls for a new global
political agenda, informed by social democratic political values.
His analysis has been criticized by leading figures and their
responses follow in this book. There are chapters by, among others,
Martin Wolf, Roger Scruton, Grahame Thompson, David Mepham, Meghnad
Desai, Maria Livanos Cattaui, Patrick Bond, Benjamin Barber, John
Elkington, Takashi Inoguchi, Narcis Serra, and Anne-Marie Slaughter
and Thomas N. Hale. The volume ends with David Held's reply to his
critics.
The book provides a fascinating introduction to the debate about
globalization today.
