Description

Globalization and Social Change challenges conventional thinking regarding the inevitability of globalization. Rather than seeing globalization as 'the end station of capitalism', it presents the development of this phenomenon as a disruptive and conflicting process. It considers the capacity of the state as the agent behind the implementation of the neoliberal project and discusses the potential for resistance and alternatives to globalization. This volume's excellent panel of international contributors examines the question of globalization from many angles, providing a fresh perspective on this influential movement. Rather than the exclusive interaction of economic actors on the world scene, globalization is perceived as the socio-economic strategies and policies which prioritise market forces at the expense of social sectors and social cohesion. Subjects addressed include the dynamics of labour; the effects of globalization in India, South Korea and Thailand; regional polarisation as the result of global capitalist integration; and the interaction of Western and non-Western knowledge traditions. The book also considers Gramscian, Regulation theory, culturalist and Marxist approaches to globalization.
