The No-Nonsense Guide to Globalization, Updated Edition

Globalization can be a force for equality – there’s more access to information that can spread awareness and change people’s lives. But it can also be seen as the embodiment of inequality – the rich world’s 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.
