- Summary:
-
"Globalization and Politics brings insight to the analysis of the evolution of inter-state politics that doesn't blame globalization for everything, but produces a clear, comprehensive and coherent sense of how globalization works and how it might work better. As globalization still remains a very contested set of phenomena, this study looks upon globalization as a distinct set of phenomena energy, economy, environment and politics, all of which interact. Both interdependency and governance, globalization offers both dangers and promises which explains why it is both feared and praised."--BOOK JACKET.
