What is the hottest American export since 9/11? The contributors to
this provocative volume contend that it is Western style
globalism-the dominant free market ideology that determines
everything from most-favored-nation status to the declaration of
war. In this much-needed post-September 11 analysis, an
interdisciplinary team of authors shows how central concepts like
globalization, liberty, free markets, and free trade are
increasingly being subordinated to and lumped together with the war
on terrorism led by the U.S. and its allies. The authors
here-hailing from all five continents-contend that globalism is
being adapted to particular social and political contexts in
various parts of the world. Nonetheless, the impact of
globalization with an ideological twist can be devastating as
military operations and propaganda supplant transnational trade
initiatives as the focal point of global exchange. And ironically,
the post-9/11 framework contains a major ideological contradiction:
Social forces otherwise profiting from expanded global mobility and
interchange must come to grips with necessary limitations on
certain aspects of globalization. This volume was handcrafted to
outline the major lines of inquiry proposed for the new
Globalization series, edited by Manfred B. Steger and Terrell
Carver. Writing in accessible, engaging prose, the contributors to
this anchor volume consider themselves critical globalization
theorists who seek to provide readers with a better understanding
of how dominant beliefs about globalization fashion their realities
and how these ideas can be changed to bring about more equitable
social arrangements. Books in the series will share the same
perspective and goals.
