GLOBALIZATION IS
FAR more than a buzzword-its effects can be felt
around the world, from the richest to the poorest
countries, and many of us have yet to fully
understand its implications. This fully revised and
updated No-Nonsense Guide provides a clear,
concise commentary on the complex mechanisms of
globalization. It examines the debt trap, the
acceleration of neo-liberalism and the "free trade"
model, competition for resources, and the links
between "the war on terror," the arms trade, and
privatization. A new concluding chapter examines
alternatives to corporate globalization, including
the World Social Forum, the Make Poverty History
campaign, and trade justice initiatives.
