| Summary: | "Globalization has been the topic of heated debate in recent years, with one side asserting that it will produce a better standard of living for people around the world, and a fierce opposition arguing that it will ultimately lead to greater poverty and the destruction of unique human cultures. This book tackles the issue from a different angle, proposing that the contemporary global network of business, politics, and culture be viewed from the inter-disciplinary perspective of world-making. Drawn from the ranks of sociology, law, international relations, political philosophy, and history, the contributors cut through polarized rhetoric to examine the current global situation. Their proposed diagnoses draw upon analyses of various political dilemmas whose ripple effects are felt around the world, such as the volatile relationship between Islam and Europe, or the legal foundations for a true international order absent in the shadows of imperialism."-- |
