内容説明

The contributors of this book go beyond the problems of accelerating globalization to examine how humanity can shape it. They suggest a variety of innovative perspectives, changes, policies and institutional reforms to strive for in our increasingly inter-connected world. The topics discussed include global governance and democratization; international finance and reform of the world economy; Third World development; the environment; the position of women; poverty and social exclusion; technology and culture; and the future shape of urban growth. Optimistic and inventionist in tone, this book provides a one-stop overview of thinking about global reform. Its angle on globalization looks to a future in which humanity consciously influences, improves and humanises what may otherwise be seen as an impersonal and destructive juggernaut.

内容説明

This is the first book to go beyond globalisation. Its eminent contributors reject a fatalistic stance in the face of the problems that accelerating globalisation is throwing up. Instead, they argue that humanity must make seek to shape globalisation. In a sequence of tightly argued essays, they suggest a variety of innovative perspectives, changes, policies and institutional reforms that we ought to strive for in our increasingly inter-connected world. The exciting range of topics discussed include global governance and democratization; international finance and reform of the world economy; Third World development; the environment; the position of women; poverty and social exclusion; technology and culture; and the future shape of urban growth. Optimistic and inventionist in tone, this book provides a one-stop overview of thinking about global reform. Bristling with ideas, its new angle on globalisation brings together different domains of transformation and different disciplines, looking to a future in which humanity consciously influences, improves and humanises what may otherwise be seen as an impersonal and destructive juggernaut.
