A propos de cet article

Paperback, 354 Pages.- Globalization has come to define our age. Stock market fluctuations, the fortunes of political administrations, and conditions for working people all rise and fall with the tide of global capital flow. While recognizing that globalization must be taken seriously, the essays in this collection set out to challenge ideas that only serve to mystify globalization, notably the perception that the state is now irrelevant. A number of country and area studies examine the effects of increasing global pressures on particular economies, from Germany to Cuba, and from Latin America to East Asia. OtherS take up the consequences of globalization in particular spheres: international money, the media, and workplaces. Theoretical contributions discuss democracy, government, and economics in an epoch of global capital.
