More DescriptionGlobalization and its Critics challenges the claim that globalization is a clearly understood phenomena whose effects are well-known and easily accounted for. It explores the categories we use to think about globalization, the dynamics which are driving it, and the effects which globalizing tendencies are having on the key institutional features of the contemporary world.

The volume concludes with a review of the issues posed by this important debate.
