Rather than claim that there exists a common concept of
globalization that all parties can agree to, this book seeks to
examine some of the conceptions and the way in which they render
different interpretations of particular aspects of globalization.
The last two decades have witnessed an explosive proliferation
of academic writings on the subject of globalization, which has
been accompanied by a high level of interest in the media and
widespread usage of the term. This has inevitably resulted in the
meaning of the concept broadening to include a whole host of
issues, running the attendant risk of losing any conceptual focus
it had.
John Glenn examines five issue areas affected by
globalization:
- the economy
- sovereignty
- civil society
- governance
- communication.
In so doing, the book aims to articulate certain questions
within each area, which will allow for some judgment to be made
concerning the differing perspectives on globalization.
Globalization will be of interest to students of international
political economy and politics and international relations in
general.
