"This is an excellent interpretation of current debates on the
subject ... it will be widely adopted."
American Journal of Sociology
"Extremely successful as a short and concise summary of the
globalization debate ... and is an ideal teaching resource."
Australian Journal of Political Science
"This is a brief and extremely useful book, helpful in
particular for bringing some order into the chaos of the
globalization debate; and helpful also in that it does not tell a
one-sided story. For students of globalization, undergraduate or
postgraduate, this little book should be an absolute must."
Environmental Politics
Acclaim for the second edition:
"This book provides a masterly and comprehensive survey of the
political and intellectual debates over globalization that have
raged for the past two decades. It is indispensable reading for
anyone interested in finding out what these debates have been about
and why they matter."
Andrew Gamble, University of Cambridge
"Globalization/Anti-Globalization is the best available
account of the complexities of globalization. The authors state
fairly a variety of points of view, present a vast amount of
up-to-date evidence, and make a clear argument of their own ...
highly recommended for university courses and for the general
reader."
Robert O. Keohane, Princeton University
"Held and McGrew's second edition of
Globalization/Anti-Globalization is a thoroughgoing revision
of an already outstanding book. Held and McGrew do more than survey
the field: they discuss how we might respond to globalization and
how we could construct an effective politics to lessen its major
negative consequences whilst improving the lives of the vast bulk
of the world's population. This is a stunningly impressive book
– a must-have reference work on the central debates within
the globalization literature."
Steve Smith, University of Exeter
