Synopsis
Is the current form of globalisation inevitable?
This original and innovative textbook presents an alternative to the conventional view that globalisation must inevitably follow its present course.
Using a series of intriguing examples, the book shows that the current architecture of territories and flows that constitutes globalisation has been actively ‘made’ – by financial interests, multinational corporations, powerful governments and international agencies – and could, in principle, be made differently.
The book shows that globalisation also depends on, and is influenced by, non-human forces from biodiversity to climate, and by grassroots movements from local action groups to international alliances. Some are developing ethical principles that could transform globalisation.
