Challenges of Globalization and Prospects for an Inter-civilizational World Order

Challenges of Globalization and Prospects for an Inter-civilizational World Order “With an encyclopedic coverage of regions and issues, a set of contributors including some of the best scholarship in the field, and an emphasis on how to deal with the many challenges of globalization, this book makes an important contribution. You could teach a whole class only using this book!” —Miguel Angel Centeno, Princeton University, author of War and Society and Building States in the Developing World “This exceptionally diverse, comprehensive set of articles about the many meanings and implications of globalization is certain to become an essential reference work. For covering not just the economic but also the moral, human rights and civilizational aspects of globalization these chapters form the basis for reevaluating and understanding what is happening.” —Daniel Chirot, University of Washington and author of You Say You Want a Revolution? Radical Idealism and its Tragic Consequences “Contemporary globalization has traveled a long way since its inception in the late 20th century. This volume is a much-needed comprehensive, updated, and non-Western-centric introduction to the origins, dynamics, and latest trends of globalization as seen from the perspectives of Global North and South.” —Ho-fung Hung, Johns Hopkins University, author of The China Boom: Why China Will Not Rule the World “Ino Rossi has brought together a range of authors that covers multiple aspects of our current condition. This diversity of engagements is what we need today to sort out our major challenges.” —Saskia Sassen, Columbia University, author of Expulsions “It is the best collection of studies on ecological globalization, latest impact on the Global South, millennia ascent of individual rights, and alternative designs of the future world order. This volume is indispensable for understanding the profound impact of the globalization process in the 21st century.” —Alvin Y. So, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and principal author of The Global Rise of China
