Does globalization spell the end of nation state. Bibliography. Index. Globalization has become the cliche of our times. The neo liberal virus has struck almost everybody including within the ranks of the left. The proponents of neo liberal globalization claim that it produces accelerated efficient development along with a deepening of democracy and human rights. However reality shows the opposite and any rigorous examination of such arguments reveals their shallowness and inconsistency. This book underscores the point that current economic disasters are not the price we have to pay for a transition towards the promised paradise but on the contrary are bound to get worse as long as neo liberal economic policies are pursued. With the help of case studies statistical data and cogent analysis the book debunks several myths associated with globalization processes. 192 pp.

The millions of dollars that are moved around the world every minute of day profoundly affect who gets to eat and who doesn't who has a job and who doesn't and who accumulates wealth and at whose expense.
