Description
Globalization Beyond the Great Divide by David Held and Anthony McGrew is a comprehensive assessment of contemporary global trends. The authors argue that the war on terror does not mark the end of globalization, but rather a new phase of militarized globalization. Held and McGrew examine the primary structures of world order, including patterns of governance, organized violence, the economy, culture, and environmental degradation. They also assess patterns of inequality, exclusion, and domination. The book presents an alternative ethical and political agenda for the twenty-first century - a global covenant of cosmopolitan social democracy. The second edition has been updated with three new chapters, providing a fresh perspective on this complex topic. This book will appeal to anyone seeking to understand the controversy surrounding globalization and its consequences for the world order in the 21st century.
