In order to grasp this alternative, the changing structure of
the global order has to be understood. To this end, the book is
divided into three sections: economics, politics and law. In each
section contemporary trends are analyzed, problems confronted, and
a series of detailed policies set out. The aim of the book is to
focus on feasible and effective policy choices which could lead to
a progressive transformation of global affairs. Against the
ideologues who are wholly in favour or hostile to globalization,
this book shows how globalization can be better regulated to
deliver human development, equitable economic change, democracy and
justice.
This is an original book that will appeal to all those -
students, policy makers, and the general reader - who confront
questions about globalization and global governance. It is an
optimistic text that holds that progressive political change is
still within our grasp.
