"Globalization Demystified is a study that offers a critical re-examination of Africa's perverse integration into the global capitalist system. It presents a historical analysis of how various encounters between structurally unequal economies, societies and institutions have continuously shaped the continent's past and contemporary plight of exploitation, marginalization, exclusion and abject poverty for the majority of its people."--BOOK JACKET.

Globalization, within academic, political and business circles alike, conjures an ever growing diversity of associations, connotations and attendant mythologies. In this volume a distinguished array of international academics assess the contribution of the globalization thesis, in its various guises, to our understanding of social, political and economic change in contemporary societies. They expose, challenge and demystify many of the exaggerated and overgeneralized claims made about globalization, whilst developing a distinctive 'third wave' perspective on the world we inhabit and the processes currently reconfiguring it.

Theories of Globalization offers students and scholars a comprehensive and critical introduction to the concept of globalization. Barrie Axford expertly guides readers through the full range of perspectives on the topic, from international political economy to geography, global anthropology to cultural and communication studies. In so doing he draws out the common threads between competing theories, as well as pinpointing the problems that challenge our understanding of globalization. Key terms such as 'globalism' and 'globality' are carefully explained and central themes like capitalism, governance, culture and history explored in full. In assessing the contribution made by globalization theory, Axford's account also sheds new light on several crucial current issues. These range from the changing shape of democracy and citizen engagement with governance, to issues surrounding 'just war' and humane intervention, and problems relating to empire and post-colonialism. This wide-ranging and detailed new book will be essential reading for students and scholars of international politics, sociology and any area where the concept of globalization is discussed and disputed.

This textbook deals with the progressive global dissolution of political, economic, and social boundaries, which has significant implications for labor markets, the international division of labor, social security, and income distribution. Politically, it is eroding the sovereign ability of nation-states to shape their own affairs; socially, it conjures up the specter of an increasingly global culture of unity. Against the background of the empirical effects of globalization processes in a number of areas, the book discusses to what extent these fears are justified, whether they cannot also be explained by other developments, and whether the benefits of globalization justify the costs and risks resulting from it.

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 1,3, James Cook University, language: English, abstract: Every day we perceive an innumerable amount of information about incidents from all over the world. It seems that more and more even the most distant events have an influence on our life. One word, one concept is related to all of them: globalisation. Be it the globalised financial system, globalisation of terrorism since 9/11 or cultural globalisation. Everything is tried to be explained with that term. But what actually is globalisation? Where does it come from? Is it all in all something good or something bad? And can we influence it? In this essay, I want to examine the basic principles of globalisation and define the term according to these questions.

Considering the rise of global political instability and subsequent importance of new social movements, this cutting edge book examines the relationship between the alter-globalization movement and political power in Italy, Spain, and Greece. It argues that not only is the movement anti-political, but that it operates within an apolitical social milieu, as a ritualized holding pattern for middle class youths that find themselves uncomfortably placed between a receding state structure on the one hand, and a rising informal economy on the other. Its ritual liminality allows adherents to act revolutionary while assuring that their middle class privileges remain intact. The author considers the social ramifications of the movement at a time when Europe finds itself at a political and economic crossroads, and offers specific and timely case studies from the three southern European countries.

From Walmart to Al Qaeda explains the fuzzy, complex and seemingly incomprehensible concept of globalization. What is globalization? What are the core topics, theories and competing ideologies? Are we walking towards homogenization or towards a global collision of cultures and identities? The potential risks and challenges for the global economy, corporations and political regimes are acknowledged by most but not fully understood. This book provides a refreshing new look at how society is being shaped by globalization and how these apparent destructive patterns can be both explained and potentially remedied.Globalization is both a concept and a cliché. It is a term that is used to explain an economic system or the state of the world. David Murillo sets out the questions and identifies the interrelationships of different disciplines to both understand the issues and also find solutions. The book discusses globalization and current attempts to conceptualize and measure it. There are theoretical and ideological debates on whether globalization is inevitable and the various alternatives for interpreting how the world works.Accompanying Teaching Notes are available on request with the purchase of this book.

Globalization is not a single concept or ideology which can be described or explained in a measured time span, nor can it be defined with a proper beginning or ending. Moreover, it cannot be implicated in anyone or any situation. It is a notion without any boundaries which comprises of economic integration, the exchange or transfer of policies across the border, the transmission of awareness and knowledge, cultural constancy, the regeneration, relations and discourses of power. Globalization is a global process, concept or "an establishment of a global market free from socio-political control". Globalization covers all these areas and has been defined, not recently but from many past years with reference to few connotations involving progress, development, and stability, integration and cooperation while other in relation to regression, colonialism and destabilization. Despite all these challenges, this single term brings with it a whole lot of hidden agendas. One’s political philosophy, geographic locality, social status, cultural backdrop and racial as well as religious affiliation provide the background that determines how globalization is understood.
