Of all the lands in the world, Colombia is the richest in flowers. When the first astronauts sped through the heavens and beheld the Earth, two landmarks stood out: the Great wall of China and the unique green mantle that covers Colombia. In fact, this hugely fertile land houses over 50,000 species of flowers, out of a total of 250,000 throughout the world. The daily use of flowers and of their eloquent language permeates the Colombians' everyday life and their very death; it reaches all points, even in the endearing simplicity of a small garden. It is not surprising then that, also in the sphere of economics, flowers should have come to play an important role. Three decades ago, a small group of visionary entrepreneurs realized that the Bogota Savannah and certain regions of Antioquia were ideal sites for intensive floriculture, and they put that idea to work. At present Colombia is one of the world's leader flower-producing countries and one of the main exporters to the United States. Ninety percent of Colombia's entire flower production is for exportation. The quality of its products, its rigorous at meeting schedules, and the competitiveness of its prices have helped the Colombian flower industry to maintain its privileged position in international markets, competing and successfully against countries such as Holland and Japan. The flower industry has also helped to strengthen the Colombian economy in rural areas by maintaining a stable working population, thus helping to avoid migration to the cities.

The Dutch no longer rule supreme in the world flower market. Since the late eighties, developing countries such as Colombia and Kenya have seized a large - and growing - market share. The Game of the Rose is a report from the frontlines of this new War of the Roses (and Other Cut Flowers). Are Southern growers cornering the market? European growers fear their tropical competitors, and with reason. Yet they also do thriving business with growers in Africa, India and South America. The South pays highly for the services of Northern managers, crop specialists, marketing experts, for Northern plant material and for Northern equipment. Many of the African growers themselves are European. The developing countries furnish the flower trade with cheap labour, with scarce arable land and even scarcer water resources. They expose their populations to carelessly sprayed toxic pesticides. Who profits? The profits from the flower industry are highly uncertain - and are in any case being drained off to the North. Why, then, are Northern development consultants advising governments and entrepreneurs in the South to adopt such a risky and disadvantageous strategy?

2009 Best Book, International Political Economy Group of the British International Studies Association This ambitious volume chronicles and analyzes from a critical globalization perspective the social, economic, and political changes sweeping across Latin America from the 1970s through the present day. Sociologist William I. Robinson summarizes his theory of globalization and discusses how Latin America’s political economy has changed as the states integrate into the new global production and financial system, focusing specifically on the rise of nontraditional agricultural exports, the explosion of maquiladoras, transnational tourism, and the export of labor and the import of remittances. He follows with an overview of the clash among global capitalist forces, neoliberalism, and the new left in Latin America, looking closely at the challenges and dilemmas resistance movements face and their prospects for success. Through three case studies—the struggles of the region's indigenous peoples, the immigrants rights movement in the United States, and the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela—Robinson documents and explains the causes of regional socio-political tensions, provides a theoretical framework for understanding the present turbulence, and suggests possible outcomes to the conflicts. Based on years of fieldwork and empirical research, this study elucidates the tensions that globalization has created and shows why Latin America is a battleground for those seeking to shape the twenty-first century’s world order.
