Globalization and what it means today
Globalization is the buzz-word of our age - but we still haven't worked out what it means.

In this much-needed concise and authoritative guide to globalization, its leading theorists thrash out what it really means. They examine the history of global change in every key area of human activity - politics, economics, culture, migration, military affairs and the environment - to discover what is new about globalization today.

They find that globalization is transforming our world as never before - but in a much more complex way than is often assumed. The nation-state is not dead - but we must rethink our values, institutions and identities so that power can once again be subject to democratic control.
