Summary
This book provides a comprehensive overview of globalization and its consequences. Exploring the insights of a wide range of critical theorists, it book argues that debates about globalization cannot be divorced from struggles for emancipation or from the contradictory realities of contemporary society. And it also demonstrates how the views of critical theorists are crucial to understanding the global processes shaping the world today.
