Chapters demonstrate the many ways that globalization shapes today’s rapidly evolving world, embracing the need to reflect on globalization’s achievements and failures. Ultimately, the book charts the current and projected state of a globalized world undergoing seismic changes, reflecting on the threat or promise of a new world order.
