Description

Globalization: The Hidden Agenda by Dennis Smith is a thought-provoking analysis of the complex forces driving globalisation. Smith argues that analysts have not fully explained key issues such as religious extremism and the War on Terror, highlighting the need for a new perspective on this topic. Smith contends that understanding globalization requires considering long-term socio-political development, liberation dynamics, and the consequences of humiliation. He warns that if globalization does not change direction and address its hidden agenda, the costs in terms of freedom and human rights will be severe. As American influence wanes, Smith predicts a shift in global power balances, leading to internal conflicts within Western democracies. This book offers a compelling account of the crises facing the contemporary world, making it an essential read for students, scholars, and informed general readers alike.
