Abstract:
"Unlike most readings of globalisation, these essays depict not an irresistible juggernaut but a process that, in generating its own resistances, opens up the possibility of an alternative world order founded not on the inequalities of power and capital, but on shared commitment to a fragile planet and a common and universal culture."--BOOK JACKET.
