The No-Nonsense Guide to Globalization, Updated Edition |
| Globalization can be a force
for equality theres more access to information that can spread
awareness and change peoples lives. But it can also be seen as the
embodiment of inequality the rich worlds rabid consumption of
resources comes at the expense of poor countries, forced to cut costs and
corners to compete. This fully revised and updated edition of The No-Nonsense Guide to Globalization distills the complexities into an easy-to-grasp commentary. It examines the debt trap; the acceleration of neoliberalism and the "free trade" model; competition for energy resources; the links between the "war on terror", the arms trade and privatization. And the final chapter examines civil society alternatives to corporate globalization, including the World Social Forum, Make Poverty History campaign and trade justice initiatives. Written by Wayne Ellwood. Published in Canada in association with New Internationalist Publications Ltd. by Between the Lines Press, 2006. |
