Description

This collection of essays reflects a wide array of realities and experiences of people from different areas of the world, including Britain, Nicaragua, Colombia, Spain, and Guatemala. Globalization requires innovation and adaptation, things that are easier for some countries to achieve than others, and the contributors argue that the current form of globalization allows the West to dominate the world market at the expense of other countries. This collection challenges the framework of globalization and provides practical advice for making globalization beneficial to all countries. The nature and history of globalization is discussed as well as its impact on the developing world. New approaches to globalization are presented, as well as the rationale of these recommendations, demonstrating that globalization can be reworked in order to include all countries.
