    Global Transformations Reader

     
    Globalization and its current influence on the state, culture, economy, and ethics
    11/20/2000
    What is globalization? Is there even such a thing? This new collection of readings tackles the definition and validity of what has become a dauntingly ubiquitous concept. Editors Held and McGrew provide a useful context for the challenging editorial mission of The Global Transformations Reader in their introduction, "The Great Globalization Debate." The rest of the book is broken into parts offering varied definitions of globalization and exploring its current influence on the modern nation-state, culture, economy, and ethics. The last section covers globalization's effect on emerging forms of transnational controls and influence. Running throughout the book is the debate between the "globalists" and the "sceptics"; the former believing in the existence of a new world order eroding regionalism; the latter believing that globalization is nothing more that an aggregation of existing nation-states. Whether read from cover to cover or used as a reference, The Global Transformations Reader provides a rich context for better understanding our changing world and its inherent conflicts.
