The freight container facilitates an extraordinary amount of
commercial exchange while undermining sovereign autonomy. By
helping to integrate world trade, the container empowers the
activities of non-state actors - both licit and illicit. These
activities have given rise to new tensions that threaten the very
economic globalization that the container helped create.Hoovestal
delves into the social, economic and strategic ramifications of the
container in Globalization Contained. On the one hand, despite
their ideological differences, economies like those of the US and
China have a common interest in the globalization that containers
make possible. On the other hand, this seemingly simple piece of
technology stands between liberalist market 'freedom' and realist
sovereign 'security.' Examining the global significance of the
freight container, with particular emphasis on the perspectives of
the US and China, Globalization Contained considers the
implications of the freight container as an agent of change for the
future of the global economy and global security.
