商品簡介
Intended as an introduction to Rowman & Littlefield's new Globalization series, this work pursues the major lines of inquiry in critical globalization theory. While the theory encompasses a range of viewpoints, they all share the aim of demonstrating to people "how dominant beliefs about globalization fashion their realities and how these ideas can be changed to bring about more equitable social arrangements," according to Steger (politics and government, Illinois State U.). The authors explore the current inequitable power and wealth arrangements celebrated by globalization's ideologues and describe some of the counterhegemonic ideas and movements that have arisen to counter them. Also included are a number of regional studies exploring different ideologies of globalism around the world. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
